"UK Inflation Continues to Soar Amidst Brexit and Cost of Living Crisis"

TL;DR Summary
In the UK, the "core CPI" and services CPI had scary month-to-month spikes that pushed them to multidecade highs, while food inflation continued to rage at an annual rate of over 19%. Energy prices dropped, but the inflation game of Whac-A-Mole continues with goods prices surging again.
