Families under massive pressure as cost of living rises again, says TUC

Commenting on today’s (Wednesday) inflation figures, which show CPI rising to 10.4% and RPI rising to 13.8%, TUC General Secretary Paul Nowak said:

“Families are still under massive pressure from the rising cost of living, with food prices rising especially fast. But they got next to no help from last week’s budget.

“We need a comprehensive plan to get wages rising across the economy, and to boost social security. That’s how we build an economy that rewards work not wealth.”
