UK Inflation Highest in G7, Claims Minister | JQJO

UK inflation hit 3.6% in June 2025, according to the Office for National Statistics, up from 3.4% the previous month. This follows a claim by UK minister Kemi Badenoch that the UK has the highest G7 inflation. While the UK's CPI is higher than last year, OECD data using a different measure shows UK inflation at 4% in May 2025, exceeding other G7 nations. This contrasts with the 2% inflation rate in June 2024, before the Labour government took office.
