GMB Union has responded to today's inflation figures - which show inflation jumped to 10.4 per cent in the year to February from 10.1 per cent in January.
Gary Smith, GMB General Secretary, said:
"This spike in the inflation figures might defy predictions, but it will come as no surprise to working people who struggle to buy food and pay their energy bills.
“It shows that the Government is utterly complacent about the wages crisis.
"The fact that Rishi Sunak is off-track even on his utterly modest inflation targets should be a huge warning to working people - who face yet more pain due to the Tories' disastrous economic policies."
