CPI inflation up to 2.6%, with sticky core inflation rising to 3.5%.

Our latest research showed that the impacts of high rising costs, alongside still soaring housing costs, mean 7 million families are still going without essentials & living standards are still set to fall this parliament.
Our latest @jrf-uk.bsky.social COL survey is out & it's a dire picture for living standards.

We find ZERO CHANGE since May 24 in low income families going without essentials & being in arrears.

We project this group will be £440 p/y worse off in Oct 29 after housing costs, compared to now.

Government must prioritise affordable healthy homes not just a target number, says Marmot
“If we build poor quality homes now, we are storing up problems for health in the future,” Michael Marmot has warned in a new report1 that calls for health and wellbeing to be placed centre stage in t...

Luxembourg 86% of avg salary
Portugal 75%
France 68%
Germany 56%.
Even USA median-wage workers keep 35%

But in 🇬🇧 ? A measly 12% — the lowest in the developed world. Even if we include housing benefit, the UK still ranks 39th out of 42 rich countries — ahead of only Australia , Romania & Russia
The answer to this headline question turns out to be 'no', in several interesting ways.

Critical in Public Health’s evolution, are the worsening health, economic, & social inequalities across societies. Fuelled by historic, systemic and structural factors, these inequalities exacerbate current health threats & risk being weaponised. Let me be clear: There is no health without equity.
