Stout out; Air fryers in - Changes to ONS' basket of goods
The cost-of-living crisis and the end of the Covid-19 pandemic have been reflected in the Office for National Statistics’ ‘basket of goods’, which measures the UK’s inflation rate.
A pint of Guinness and hand sanitiser have been removed whilst gluten-free bread and air fryers are in.
Vinyl records have made a return to the basket after a 32-year absence, thanks in part to the success of a Taylor Swift album.

Chief Secretary to the Treasury Laura Trott says the drop in inflation is not an accident but the result of the government's 'hard work' and 'deflationary’ spring Budget.
New figures from the Office for National Statistics show the rate fell to 3.2% in the year to March. Report by Alibhaiz. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt says the latest GDP figures that show that 2023’s recession was slightly weaker than originally thought are a “testament to the resilience of the economy”. Figures released by the Office for National Statistic revealed the economy shrunk for two quarters in a row, but the total contraction over that six-month period dropped from 0.5% to 0.4%.

Jonathan Reynolds says he welcomes last month’s drop in inflation but insists people are ‘still worse off after 14 years of Conservative government’. Speaking on the day the Office for National Statistics confirmed inflation fell to 3.4% in February, the shadow business secretary also suggested a cut in interest rates was unlikely, due to ongoing ‘uncertainty, particularly around the Red Sea’.

Work and Pension Secretary Mel Stride said the latest employment statistics are "a step in the right direction." The latest figures from the Office of National Statistics revealed unemployment rose and wage growth slowed in the three months to January. However, Mr Stride pointed out: "We've still got a record level of payroll employment and we're seeing real wages rising for the eighth month in succession. This is really because our plan is working." Report by Kennedyl. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn
