Sunak ‘rewrites history’ as inflation finally reaches 2% target
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, during a visit to Clovelly in North Devon, while on the General Election campaign trail, June 18, 2024

RISHI SUNAK was accused of rewriting history by claiming it was “great news” that figures today showed CPI had reached the Prime Minister’s target of 2 per cent.

TUC general secretary Paul Nowak argued that families have suffered the highest price rises in the G7 over the past three years.

He said inflation has gone up more over that period than it usually does over an entire decade, as new TUC analysis revealed unsecured household debt is set to rise by more than £1,600 this year as families continue to struggle with the cost-of-living crisis.
