Prices will continue to rise in the next three months as almost 60% of retailers fail to meet sales targets and others fear closure within the year.

Surely raising prices will help them sell more!

Yay for wage price spiral

Not because of wage price rises. Its more because investors want to be paid more. The constant "businesses must make more profit year over year"

There are plenty of people out there getting rises far below inflation.
