Rishi Sunak is so seriously out of touch I find it extremely worrying.
Quote:
Rishi Sunak has said it is difficult for people to understand the scale of government support with energy bills, as he defended his record on tackling the cost of living.
The prime minister said halving inflation was a top priority and his plan to ease rising prices was working.
It comes as the latest figures showed inflation slowed last month due to lower energy costs.
But food, restaurants and hotel costs are still rising.
The inflation rate, which measures price changes over time, fell to 6.8% in the year to July, down from 7.9% in June. This means prices are rising less quickly.
Inflation is much lower than it was at its peak of 11.1% in October, but it still remains high compared to historical rates and much higher than the Bank of England's 2% target.
