Cost of Christmas will increase pressure on family budgets, says TUC

Commenting on today’s (Tuesday) inflation figures from ONS, TUC General Secretary  Frances O’Grady said:

“Christmas dinner is going to be a lot more expensive this year. Food prices have gone up at twice the rate of wages.

“The government is failing to deal with Britain’s cost of living crisis. Working people need a pay rise. They shouldn’t have to worry about putting the turkey on the table.”
