Reynolds: Rates unlikely to be cut despite fall in inflation
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’.

UK inflation has risen to its highest level since April driven by an increase in household energy bills, according to official figures.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation rose to 2.3% for October, up from 1.7% in the previous month. Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury Darren Jones said there was “more to do” to ease cost-of-living pressure.

Tensions in the Red Sea escalated dramatically as Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels targeted the Panama-flagged bulk carrier Anadolu S with two missile strikes in a matter of hours. The first attack occurred late Sunday night, narrowly missing the vessel's stern. Despite warnings, the ship continued its course, prompting a second strike the following day, landing just a nautical mile away.
While no casualties or damage were reported, the incident highlights the Houthis' growing maritime campaign, which they claim is in solidarity with Gaza. The Bahrain-based Combined Task Force confirmed the strikes, raising concerns over shipping safety in the region. This bold assault underscores the escalating risks for international vessels navigating the Red Sea amid intensifying regional tensions.

In a fiery televised address, Yemen's Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi accused the U.S. of complicity in Israel's ongoing military actions in Gaza and Lebanon, claiming American-made weapons are fueling a broader campaign of extermination in West Asia. Houthi warned of potential strikes on U.S. warships if they entered the Red Sea, while hailing Yemeni forces for their successful naval attack on the aircraft carrier Abraham. He criticised Arab regimes for their ties with Israel and urged a mass uprising in Yemen to show solidarity with Palestine, calling for nationwide protests against the U.S-Israeli aggression.
