NEW Inflation eases from 3.3% to 2.8% in year to April, with falls in domestic energy and other bills (water, VED) last month counteracted by a rise in petrol prices… Core inflation 2.5% vs 3.1%… services 3.2% vs 4.5% … Lowest services inflation since January 2022 - key indicator for Bank of England… Lowest core inflation since July 2021 Good set of figures before the inevitable upwards turn from full impact of Iran war, especially on domestic bills.





Good news: inflation has fallen today. Our action to reduce energy bills - with the price cap dropping by £117 - means inflation is now lower. There’s more to do - this government is delivering for Britain.
