Why does Britain have the worst inflation in the G7? – BBC Newsnight
The Bank of England is watching UK inflation carefully, and the latest official figures show that inflation slowed in April by less than expected to 8.7%.
Britain’s ‘core inflation’ – a measure which doesn’t include volatile components such as energy and food – is the highest of the G7 countries at 6.8% and is going in the wrong direction.
Nationwide building society has warned that rises in mortgage interest rates – closely tied to increases in the Bank of England’s rate that has been raised to try and control inflation – could hit the housing market.
So why is inflation in the UK so stubborn compared to similar countries? Newsnight’s Economics Editor Ben Chu reports.

Young people were told artificial intelligence would make them sharper, faster, more creative — and more employable.
But for many, that promise now feels more complicated.
From students leaning on chatbots to write essays… to graduates sending out hundreds of AI-assisted job applications — only to be filtered out by algorithms on the other side — artificial intelligence is no longer a future story.
Presenter Marc Cieslak and AI Decoded co-host Stephanie Hare are joined by author of ‘We are not machines’ Sarah O’Connor and Rumman Chowdury, Founder of Humane Intelligence.
We also hear from students across the UK about their hopes and fears over artificial intelligence and how they feel it will shape their future.
