It's noticeable that BBC Breakfast is explaining in words of one syllable that a fall in inflation is NOT a fall in prices. Don't recall this important public service under the last government.

The bbc flag ship news program Today have daily business ‘leaders’ contributing on speculation on Reeve’s measures to raise money. This morning it was the hospitality sector re nation insurance, Monday a peanut butter producer re corporation tax. Missed yesterday’s conversation.

Hate to be that guy, but they have been doing that for a little while before the election (since at least mid-2023). Which, it has to be said, was much better than in the Osbourne era when they reported the one month when wage growth was above inflation in 5 years as 'the good times are back'.

Plus talk of labour govt budget, not the govt budget
