    as cost of living pressures ease

    Like the rest of the media, The Guardian is helping to make out that - as inflation supposedly falls - food and energy prices will fall. That’s not what’s happening - or will happen. Prices will continue to rise, just not so sharply.

    I can’t see how “cost of living pressures” will go away without deliberate price cuts. AND THAT’S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE UK.

        Yes. Agreed.

        But what is that…? The sound of Sunak refusing decent pay rises to public sector workers and allowing the triple lock for Tory-voting old people to add £10 billion a year to government spending.

        Or, and now hear me out, wage rises that are a fair bit higher than inflation like boomers enjoyed for most of their lives.
