Only a rise of 0.1% on last month, but the symbolic significance of it hitting 3% will, surely, be damaging for the Government at a time when they have plenty of problems anyway.

A question for those who know about these things. I eat a lot of blueberries these days and through the summer I could get a large carton (enough to last me for a week) for £3, but, in the last month, I still pay £3 for the biggest carton on sale, but it's now about half the size of what it was a month ago. I've looked in other supermarkets and the same thing has happened in them, so I think it must be a seasonal thing, but do the inflation figures cater for things like this - presumably they do, but I'm still paying the same as I used to for my weekly supply of blueberries, yet I'm only getting half as many as I was before.
