One thing on that inflation forecast, it is the high scenario from a range of possible outcomes and one that assumes that the UK government takes no more than token action on energy costs which is the declared position of Truss (or one of them anyway given she's going to be as accurate and consistent as her predecessor).
Some kind of more realistic action will reduce that to something merely horrific.
this will gladden the hearts of brexiters and red wall Tories
Average pay for FTSE 100 chiefs jumps by 39% to £3.4m
One group of workers has managed to get an inflation-beating increase in earnings — Britain’s CEOs.
Chief executives of the UK’s 100 biggest companies have seen their pay jump by 39% to an average of £3.4m, according to research by the High Pay Centre thinktank and the Trades Union Congress (TUC).
The median average pay of CEOs of companies in the FTSE 100 index rose to £3.4m in 2021, compared with £2.5m in 2020 during the height of the coronavirus pandemic when many bosses took a voluntary pay cut as they placed millions of employees on furlough.
CEO pay has also surpassed the £3.25m median recorded in 2019, before the pandemic.
