Britons Face "Perfect Storm" Of Rising Taxes, Heating Costs, & Food Inflation The British people are facing a serious cost-crunch in terms of their cost of living as heating costs surge up to 50% while taxes climb and inflation eats away at people''s earnings - all while Bank of England chief Andrew Bailey urges the British people not to ask for raises this year - a comment that landed him in hot water earlier this week. Like in the US, inflation in the UK has surged to its highest annualized reading in December since March 1992 (5.4%, compared with 7% in the US). Fortunately for Britons on the dole, their welfare payments will increase by 3.1% in April, HMG announced earlier this month. Meanwhile, the latest official data showed that average earnings fell by around 1% in November from a year earlier, when adjusted to take inflation into account. That marked the first decline in wages since the height of the coronavirus pandemic. On the other hand, taxes on earned income increased by 1.

06:28am, Wednesday, 09'th Feb 2022 The Guardian
Ursula von der Leyen says chips are bedrock of our modern economies but the pandemic has exposed supply vulnerabilities The European Union has announced a 43bn ($48bn) plan to overcome its dependency on Asian computer chip makers as governments and businesses around the world battle with a global supply chain crisis that experts believe could persist for much of the year. With consumers having to wait months for cars, dishwashers and other durables thanks to chip shortages, the blocs plan marks one of the most significant developments yet seen as a result of the tectonic shifts in the global economy set off by the coronavirus pandemic.

Largest UK Supermarket Warns "Worst Has Yet To Come" Amid Food Inflation Crisis
10:45am, Tuesday, 08'th Feb 2022 Zero Hedge
Largest UK Supermarket Warns "Worst Has Yet To Come" Amid Food Inflation Crisis Britain''s largest supermarket chain warned "the worst is yet to come" on food inflation as the cost-of-living crisis pulverizes the working poor. John Allan, chairman of Tesco Plc, told the BBC''s Sunday Morning Live that low-income households have difficulty choosing between food and heat this winter. Budgets are tight, triggering a ''winter of discontent'' if widespread inflation doesn''t diminish. " In some ways, the worst is still to come because although food price inflation in Tesco last quarter was only 1%, we are impacted by rising energy prices. Our suppliers are impacted by rising energy prices. We''re doing all we can to offset it but that''s the sort of number we''re talking about. Of course, 5%," Tesco''s Allan said.
