UK politics live: Surprise inflation fall eases pressure on Reeves as markets predict interest rate cut

^{Published on 2025-01-15 06:40:38 - AOL}

Inflation has fallen to 2.5 per cent in a boost for Chancellor Rachel Reeves as she faces criticism over market turmoil and volatility in the value of the pound. The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) figure is still above the Bank of England's 2 per cent target, but is lower than November's 2.6 per cent.

The article from AOL discusses several key political events and statements in the UK. Rachel Reeves, the Shadow Chancellor, has been warned by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) about the potential need for tax rises or spending cuts due to the economic challenges facing the UK. This comes as the Labour Party, led by Keir Starmer, is preparing for the upcoming general election, with Reeves emphasizing the need for economic stability and growth. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is dealing with internal party pressures, including calls for tax cuts and managing the fallout from recent political scandals. Additionally, there are updates on the ongoing discussions about the Northern Ireland Protocol, with Foreign Secretary James Cleverly engaging in talks to resolve post-Brexit trade issues. The article also touches on public sector strikes, with nurses and other workers continuing their industrial action over pay and conditions.
