Inflation stays at 3.1% after record jump in clothing costs
The Office for National Statistics said the price of food rose in September, continuing a trend set in the spring. Food prices traditionally fall in the summer months as fresh UK produce hits the shelves, but this year a spike in wheat prices and other basic foodstuffs has pushed shop prices higher.
VAT will rise from 17.5% to 20% in January,
Some estimates have suggested the hike will cost households around £500 a year.
We already pay £31 of every £100 we earn in NI and income tax. If we spend what's left VAT deduction will only leave us with £55.20! estimated the tax increase would cost the average family between £7 and £8 a week ( That’s £400 a year)
So how far will your pay go!!!! With a 3% pay rise will it cover the vat, food, kids clothing and you can see at the pumps fuel up every day.
SO COME ON IT’S TIME TO THINK !!!THE FIGURES JUST DON’T ADD UP YOU DESERVE IT AND SO DOES YOUR FAMILY.
A FAIR DAYS WORK FOR A FAIR DAYS PAY.
Jaguar Land Rover is to invest billions of pounds in its business, creating thousands of new jobs and safeguarding its UK factories, it has announced.
The new jobs will include 1,500 at the Halewood plant on Merseyside next year, while the other two manufacturing sites at Castle Bromwich and Solihull in the West Midlands will be retained, ending fears for their future.
The Unite union said a deal had been struck that included a two-year pay deal worth 5% this year and an above-inflation rise the year after.
