Britain’s cost-of-living crisis still has nearly a year to run, with calculations showing that the average household will be £2,300 ($2,974) worse off by the time inflation eases.
A report from Grant Thornton UK LLP and Retail Economics said the UK was only three-quarters of the way through a financial squeeze that will last until May next year. It said £65 billion would be wiped off total household spending power.
