- The cost of living is rising in the UK, and it's changing people's lives.
Growing inflation, supply-chain shortages and changing demand are having a big impact on sticker price.
Ros Atkins reports on the causes - and the people most effected.

‘I understand how difficult it is’ NO HE DOESN’T. Because he has never had to live like that. Neither would most politicians on either side of the aisle.
I agree.
@Gavin Gas not to mention that all in parliament were given pay rises in 2020 when they shut the whole country down to fight covid
How do you know???? Do you think all poletitions were born Rich??? You'd be dead wrong if you think that mate.
@@jayp9059 but that doesn't prove that poletitions were born Rich and always had lavish lifestyles. Infact many pollies grew up on farms, some others grew up in slums, others came from broken homes and were put into foster care. just because they get a huge pay as poletitions doesn't mean they always had that.
And yet the only politicians with some direct experience/understanding of this are in Labour. Not the Tory party. Because the Conservatives exist to conserve the interests of the wealthy, and Labour exist to advance the interests of the poor, the marginalised, and the mass of the population. And this situation will persist until enough people wake up, realise that, and stop voting for the Tories.
Poverty is exhausting. No matter how strong and upbeat you try and remain it wears you down. Being cold and missing meals is only one of the symptoms of life spent always struggling. Only when you live it will you know that. No politician will ever understand.
Psst , you know I had this misfortune of staying in a relatives place, where there were plenty of kids, everything was rationed, and few fruits would not be shared with guests,only with their own children.....is it poverty or just bad hosts!? I think it’s the attitude of not to share .Would anyone want to come your place......Nah!
Doesn’t even piss on a thirsty man.......gosh!
I come from a house of charitable institutions, whether we had food or not, we always managed to share the little food we have with the guest,hungry even beggars.
Poverty? Yr texting on your phone or computer. You have internet access.
You may not be as well off as others but to say poverty in comparison to how millions live (and barely complain/dont have access to youtube to complain.)
Doesnt make sense to me. Life can be tough in britain but true poverty is rare. I worry more for the homeless tbh

I love how everybody is always concerned about families, poor families, and noone ever considers how difficult it is for single people, that cannot afford living alone, forced to share a house or a flat! Try make ends meet without a partner's support, financial or emotional. Without the joy of having a family. We also have rights and needs! The only joy was travelling and now with all these f....ing tests, ordinary people cannot even afford that anymore!!
I am not from the UK but this is relatable.
That is because singles are taxed higher regardless of income than families or disabled persons... people here marry rather to reduce taxes than out of love.

If you’re a prospective first-time homebuyer hoping (or praying) home prices will decline in 2022, don’t count on it. If people are waiting for a price to decline, well, it’s not going to happen. Heading into the spring of 2022, mortgage rates have increased over a full percentage point and while purchase demand has cooled, it remains firm. Supply remains near record lows, so home price growth is expected to remain high through the spring homebuying season before cooling off later this year as mortgage rates continue to rise.
Investing in REITs will be a right decision as it's also included in a growing number of defined-benefit and defined-contribution investment plans
Greatly said! lnvesting in REITs can play an important part in an lnvestment portfolio because they can offer a strong, stable annual dividend and the potential for long-term capital appreciation. REIT total return performance for the last 20 years has outperformed the S&P 500 Index, other indices, and the rate of inflation
@Colombo Evelyn Entering an investment on your own can occasionally require much more specialized knowledge. Deciding between debt and equity implies a considerably advanced level of investment knowledge.

The real problem isn't paying on average 5 bucks more for food . The problem is housing all the high rise luxury apartment buildings that push people out of their neighborhoods while using taxpayers money to do it. It's a global problem having these buildings most people can't afford to live in while the buildings themselves are half empty . If more of the public understood how these developers are using their money their taxes to pay for these projects they would be angry beyond belief .
The real problem is that wages are not calibrated to match inflation, resulting in the poor getting poorer.
We really need to have a ban or at least a VERY heavy tax on people abroad buying homes but not using them. Just treating them as a tax free nest egg investment while all the locals go homeless. Makes me sick
bucks?
you aren't american are you?
The problem is too many people buying homes for investment.
So true! Housing is getting more outrageous in the US as well. I moved to the south for a better cost of living, and now we’re starting to see northern US prices
:(
The man who parties while he mandates COVID restrictions understands how difficult it is for low income people to live.
"I understand... I just don't care" is basically what that means
Exactly.
I am American. I am watching this report, along with similar reports, and am left astonished. These home heating increases are HUGE! I have visited London and I know items are more expensive there than here but I could not sustain this type of increase in my state of Arizona. Phoenix doesn't get that cold but I still put on my heat. My home is heated using electricity and not gas heating. On the flipside, I pay a large electric bill during the summer months for my cooling costs. This report is an eye opener for me.
Maybe you schould use some solarpanels dude!
STFU and learn how money works. USA is the primary cause of the inflation
Yes, and Petrol is around $9 a gallon, you Yanks have it easy.
No one could stop that, countries need to use inflation to maintain the GDP for all sorts of expense! The only way to counter inflation is to promote the efficiency of productivity and of course to be wise with international trade!

Your income never seems to be as high as the cost of living irregardless of where you live.
th-cam.com/video/6qhHEXFIwao/w-d-xo.html ( Landscape in potsdam , Germany ).
That depends on how high your income is. Up to a certain amount, more money makes you happier because it will enable you to support yourself. (There's been research into that.) Beyond that point, more money does not change people's happiness. But it does likely make them spend more, buy more and more stuff that their lives don't depend on, perhaps making them feel like they have lots of stuff but little money, indeed.
I hate to be that person, but you either mean “regardless” or “irrespective”.
Regardless
Shush don't let them know that money leads to happiness! They aren't supposed to know
If £10 of food shopping in 2012 is now £17.11 in 2022 - that means per annum food inflation is 5.5%, 2x inflation. That is nuts.
It is wrong, or its not due to covid.
Watch "Atomic Shrimp" on youtube
He went to something like 10 stores and bought a basic shop.
Most items/stores stayed the same since 2017, some were cheaper.
So this hike was either 2011-2017 or they are lying, maybe they got own brand items in 2011, but branded items in 2022.
20% is too much tax on a wage . Then council tax. Then income tax. So altogether working class pay upto 30-40% direct or indirect tax which is too much. And if you want to work hard and do extra hours then they will deduct more tax which discourage ppl not to work extra hours. The whole tax system need overhauling
I lived in UK as a student a decade ago ,I agree that there is a burden of tax on the working class but Britain offers free health care ,benefits for the underprivileged such a good civic infrastructure I would be happy If I was to pay that much of tax. It's just a opinion.

Companies generally DO pay taxes, Even if they aren't paying for Corporation Tax because the law says they don't need to under some exemption, they are still paying other taxes such as Payroll taxes, VAT/Sales Taxes, Salt Taxes, Sugar taxes, National Insurance, TV License fee, Road Taxes/Vehicle Excise Duty, Fuel taxes/duty, Land taxes etc. and so saying that businesses don't pay any taxes is factually incorrect just like the factually incorrect term that "the rich don't pay their fair share" implying that they don't pay enough despite the top income tax bracket being close to 50% of yearly income and many people at the bottom end of income being tax exempt and if taxes were really fair then there'd be a flat income tax with everyone paying the same % rate of their income in taxes e.g. a store cleaner pays 20% flat tax and the billionaire CEO pays 20% flat tax

The "official" rate of inflation is so far detached from the real levels of inflation people are feeling. We have been running at something closer to 5-10% of real inflation year on year since the financial crash of 2007.
100%
@Spudman enneh 😂
How much has minimum wage gone up since then though? We r having a 27% increase to 9 by easter time . I swear that means we beat the inflation?
Other stats suggest a real average of 2.5+ as average inflation.
A total of 48% since 2007
Min wage in 2007 was 5.52
This easter it will be 9£
Roughly a 81% increase.
So if my economics r correct we have had double the min wage in comparison to inflation. Id say thats excellent.
@@Tom-tp1jv I strongly doubt inflation has only risen by 48% since 2007. Prices for most basic commodities has gone up by much more. I could survive on £10 food costs per week back in 2014. Now I'd say that is around £20+ for a similar shop. That would put my food shop at an annual rate of 10% inflation.
A £9 minimum wage would be the equivalent of 3.3% inflation per year.
Most comparisons of stuff you buy in supermarkets indicate inflation running into the 100's over 10 year periods.

Good insight and foresight, hard to find these days.
We were on a good deal for our gas and electric but both suppliers went bust, we were auto switched to the suppliers of last resort and cost has shot up as a result. It's put a lot of pressure on our finances and the only thing to do is not have the heating on (or only when it gets very cold), not great but not a lot of choice.

Eating enough helps your body stay warm too. So, try to compromise to the extent that you still can. It's a bloody Catch-22 but try to avoid starving yourself.
(I know what I am talking about. I have just totally stuffed myself. Yesterday evening. Two bowls of porridge and a big ton of pasta with tomato puree. Because I could and had not been able to do that for a while and then I had a shower because I had not had warm water in a few months and my muscles felt all knotted up and I had not had a shower the day before I had not had one in the morning either. When I survive on little for a while, and then have a little money, I sometimes find myself doing these things. Like eating 6 or 8 rolls - bought on discount of course - or several plates of spaghetti - always the 20p kind of course and nothing added to the pasta of course, no veggies or meat or fish - and I can't rule out that this is something purely biological.)
What I have done is put a mylar thermal blanket under my bedsheet - but be careful with that as it can cause condensation which could lead to mould growth - and I wear fluffy socks in bed. If my ankles are exposed - not covered by fabric - I wear so-called "leg warmers" too. And I often have a fleece blanket - a Christmas one that I bought at Asda right after Christmas - or a scarf around my neck and shoulders. All these little bits help me stay warm. Sometimes, when it is really really really cold, even indoors, I wear a hat, lol.

@@MrTuxy my favourite uk opinion is that we shouldnt leave the EU because they think boris hates the idea of unity. When really the reason is the EU cant respect fundemental laws of coming together in which all peopls opinions r respected and valued. The amount of people not realising we r leaving eu to get better deals is outstanding.
The EU is a fantastic concept but ran poor. Its great we sit and leave taking the morals that we should always demand better.
Good on us the UK for making this stance.
@@Tom-tp1jv The move to leave the EU was a good one and respected the vote of the people. Leaving the single market on the other hand.......
It's disgusting. It's no different for me. I get my heat from the oven while I'm cooking. But with the cost going up, I'll soon be relying on cold beans and toast as the coat of running the oven is too much.
If you are putting the toaster on, maybe you could put the beans in a thin based saucepan and prop it on top of the toaster?
Shocking that anyone has to live in such conditions in the world's 5th richest country.

they get people with sanctions all the time in the UK they go without money, up to 5 years at a time they have to beg , steal , sell drugs then they get locked up and fed 3 meals a day with free heating no bills to pay :)

@@smoxesk I am shock, this is so bad, very very bad 🤯
I´m from Brazil and the cost of living here has gone absolutely insane for the past year. Middle class and the working class have suffered substantial rise on everything. Food, gas and eletricity is out of control. To save money is practically impossible and basically we are struggling to survive with the basic day to day bills. Home prices, cars prices and bank loans have reached a price level that is totally unrealistic for most Brazilians.
É um fenômeno global; desemprego estrutural, empobrecimento das classes médias, concertação absurda de renda no topo, especulações e desvalorizações abruptas, diminuição do bem estar social, sem contar as repercussão disso em crises migratórias, empobrecimento urbano, desconfiguração e desordenamento ambiental, relações de trabalho, poder de compra.
Um processo que foi acentuado grotescamente pela pandemia.
O pior é que tende só a piorar, é algo que exige uma reforma estrutural a nível global, que seria muito "custosa" para quem tá no poder ou ganhando com isso. 🙁
Edu Bertholdo, i don't think Brazil give a crap about the lower class. i was there in 2018. its one scary place frankly. lord help y'all.
how is this possible, Brazil has 351.2 million hectares of farmland
We have same issues in Turkey also.
I am so sad for the beautiful people of Brazil, they deserve a better leader and government.
I compared our weekly food bill (from a major supermarket). I tend to buy the same stuff so I could compare it easily. Novembre 2019 : £45.35. last week £56. Given some differences of purchases that's still about 25% increase. Absolutely shocking!
Well 40 years of neoliberalism will do that. We need working communities again not isolated individuals being exploited by corporations and banks.
We need a new party representing the working people and not just the corrupt bankers and billionaires.

Cost of living rises and house prices are unaffordable due to the national living wage been do poor, what's seems to be happening in the UK is what happened in Poland 15 to 20 years ago where you couldn't afford to liv off the wages
th-cam.com/users/shortsxMXwxIfIk7E?feature=share
Then what happened in Poland ?
and the rent crisis is also driving up house prices- people buy second, third, even fourth homes to rent out and get extra income, which drives up because there are fewer available to buy. people forced to rent can't save up for a house deposit because each month that money goes into someone else's pocket through rent, rather than paying off a mortgage on a house they will be able to own.
Poland has also become very expensive.
I have noticed it is soo expensive to even foodshopping for a single mum is hard it's so unfair always struggling this needs to change !
Did anyone make you have a child you couldn't afford? Actions have consequences and there is something called personal responsibility. The government ain't your baby daddy.

EU inflation is at 5%, UKs at 5.4%, EUs average wage growth is at 2.17%, UKs at 3.8%. Free trade Empires are not a good model for overall average real wage growth, the more barriers to non staple imports from the EU we raise the lower our average real wage cruushing trade deficit with the EU falls.

You're the salty one - things didn't go your way 7 years ago and now you are gleeful about the suffering people are currently enduring.

Wait and see how much all the supermarkets and energy companies will make profits in short period of time. CEOs and directors will take millions in bonuses.

ye the vast majority if the gov's income (about 1/3) comes from taxes on our income and about 3/4 comes from taxes we pay on goods indirectly
