Inflation down to 4.6 per cent.
The drop is all about falling energy prices and a sharp reduction in food price inflation.

It was the one of Rishi's 5 pledges that was almost out of his, and his party's, control anyway.
It's a bad day for those saying that wage rises cause inflation given the recently announced wage figures.
I have noticed a few things getting noticeably cheaper in the supermarket. I don't know about anyone else but inflation definitely forced me to live a lot healthier.
I'd imagine the energy portion will drag now for a few months as the price of natural gas has been steadily rising from its lows of spring/early summer.
🤣
All their fault when it went up of course.
So if we all had 2k week extra in our pockets and at the end of the month we all decided to buy an 8k car. Seeing as demand would out strip supply - what do you think the car dealer would advertise his 8k car for the following month ?
I haven't seen anybody say it was, I am probably not on this board as much as you though.
Is that meant to be an intelligent question?
You wouldn't have enough, you would be £6K short?
Bank Of England ......nothing to do with the tory filth and that's exactly what economic commentators are saying and have been saying

Who clearly isn't as bright as he thinks he is
Anyone on here could easily claim it was down to us. I’m so glad my target to halve inflation has been such a success. You watch those Tory gits trying to take my credit.
Thanks Dave.
What a complete distortion of reality. If you read threads more instead of steaming into them screaming things like 'Toey filth' you would realise that.
I've constantly made the point that inflation and the cost of living issue is global and cyclical. This is evidenced by every western country seeing big spikes in inflation and every western country seeing it now fall.
The govt didn't cause the rise in inflation and it isn't behind the fall. An argument can be made that it did some things to not make the matter worse, but the fall was always going to happen - I've said that from the start.
Why would Rishi make halving inflation one of his 5 pledges, if he couldn't control it anyway?
For exactly the same reason that the opposition blamed them for inflation even though they were very little to do with it. Cos that's politics, unfortunately.
It could have been different. We could have had some honesty from when inflation started rising after Covid, but party's will always play political games won't they.
Hmmmm!
What things? I lived through inflation in the 1970's and most costs did not come down again, certainly not back to the previous norms. I suspect the same will happen this time around.
Are you still a conservative Christian?
It's entirely you perogative but I think the two are not able to fit together
Christians wether I believe in God or not and we know I don't.....are generally kind , sharing people
Conservatives ? ......well its all about the dollar
I would be interested in your views , the local churches seem full of torys , I find it odd and disconcerting
Sludge - I'm not sure if I dare respond to this, lest I be accused of hijacking another thread! I can easily, but what do you think? Is it a genuine enquiry or a wind up?
As a Christian the Tories seem to read a different bible than I do.
I would rather you don't reply if you feel it might engage you in on line jousting
You can always pm me
A lot of the old school one nation Tories like John major who were decent enough even though they were tories were raving church goers
I just can't see how the Conservative mantra of the individual and no such thing as society , benefit cuts , privatisation ......are what Jesus would have wanted ?
The Christian element of the Tories are those that donate to, or volunteer at food banks, for those who can't afford to buy food, or those who facilitate warm hubs for those who cant afford to heat their own homes.
So basically they vote for their government to cut benefits and make people struggle
And then to get closer to God they deliver food parcels to the people they have directly driven into poverty by voting Conservative
Praise the Lord !
Yeah because a party in power for 13+ years has no control over where our energy comes from does it?
Rampant short term-ism cripples the country once again.
