These are the foods getting more expensive - and why experts are so 'concerned'
Beef, coffee, chocolate and butter prices are on the rise - here's what it means for you. Food prices have skyrocketed in the last month, with the price of beef and veal going up by nearly a quarter, inflation figures released on Wednesday show. Juice, coffee and chocolate are among the basics that have dramatically risen in price, with experts warning that rising food costs "are particularly concerning". Overall inflation has risen by 3.8% in July, edging up from 3.6% in June, according to the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said. Inflation rose by more than expected as demand for summer travel pushed up air fares and food prices continued to climb, according to official figures. Here's what we know about the food price rises, why it is concerning, and what it means for the wider cost of living in the UK at the moment. What food prices are increasing the most? According to the index, these are the foodstuffs that went up in price the most. Beef and veal: 24% Butter: 18% Coffee: 18% Chocolate: 17% Milk: 11% Juice: 8% Bakery goods: 7% Overall food and non-alcoholic beverages inflation: 4.9% (up from 4.5% in June) Why are food prices going up? Climate change is said to be a big factor in the increase, with widespread droughts in the UK this summer leading to smaller crop yields. "As the UK experiences one of our worst droughts in living memory, the impact of climate change on these figures is clear to see," Tom Lancaster, land, food and farming analyst at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, said. "The Bank of England stated in a report this month that extreme weather is now one of the main drivers of food price inflation, and that climate change-related impacts may prevent it from coming down as expected towards the end of this year. "We can already see the impacts of this year's drought starting to come through in some vegetable prices, and inflation for coffee, chocolate and tea are all back up, all crops that have been hit by extreme weather linked to climate change in recent months and years." Added to this, the Ukraine war has significantly disrupted global supply chains, particularly affecting energy and commodity prices, which in turn pushed up food prices globally and in the UK. To a lesser extent, the Israel Gaza war has also taken a toll, affecting global markets and shipping routes, causing further cost pressures on food imports. Why is it a problem? When food prices rise, the average customer faces some significant knock-on effects with how far they can stretch their budget. "Households are once again seeing the cost of their weekly shop climb, with food inflation now up by 1.9% in just four months," Kris Hamer, director of insight for trade body the British Retail Consortium, said. "This surge has been a key driver behind headline inflation, alongside a rise in transport costs, piling fresh pressure on families already being forced to cut back." At the sharper end, more struggling families have to turn to foodbanks for support to deal with rising food costs. "The rising cost of food is particularly concerning for families as it comes on in the wake of a period of steep increases in the cost of essentials and rising food bank use," James Smith, Research Director at the Resolution Foundation, said. It looks like inflation is only set to continue, indicating that food prices might be higher for longer. The Bank of England is expecting CPI inflation to continue rising to a peak of 4% in September, before price rises start to ease. It's not great for the central bank, which is tasked with keeping inflation at 2%. "UK inflation looks increasingly like an international outlier as CPI stepped up again in July to reach 3.8 per cent, a nineteen-month high, with a worrying increase in the inflation rate of essentials," Smith added. However, Harmer added that there was some "limited relief" for consumers with clothing and footwear inflation easing and some everyday food items like olive oil, butter and cheese falling month-on-month. What other prices have risen? With inflation rising across the board, food is not the only good affected. Air fares soared by 30.2% between June and July, the biggest jump since the collection of monthly data began in 2001. The average price of petrol rose by 2p per litre between June and July, and the average diesel price by 2.9p per litre over the period, the data showed. Prices across UK restaurants and hotels also increased last month, largely driven by a jump in overnight hotel stays booked the night before. Added to this, because inflation is still fairly high at 3.8%, the Bank of England is less likely to lower interest rates anytime soon. Homeowners celebrated a small victory when the average two-year mortgage deal dropped below 5% on 13 August, the first time since Liz Truss's mini-budget sent them skyrocketing in 2022. However, they are sadly likely to stagnate again until inflation drops. When it comes to the average person's spending power, even with current inflation levels, they are still said to be in a better position than they were last year. According to the Consumer Prices Index, annual wage growth in real terms was 1.5% for regular pay and 1.1% for total pay. Even though prices are rising, this suggests wages are rising enough for workers to have slightly more spending power than a year ago when adjusted for inflation. Responding to the increase, Rachel Reeves acknowledged that there was 'more to do to ease the cost of living' following the figures. The chancellor said: "We have taken the decisions needed to stabilise the public finances, and we're a long way from the double-digit inflation we saw under the previous government, but there's more to do to ease the cost of living. "That's why we've raised the minimum wage, extended the £3 bus fare cap, expanded free school meals to over half a million more children and are rolling out free breakfast clubs for every child in the country."

The state pension age could rise even higher. Here's what the experts think
How would the government make up that gap between people leaving the workforce and receiving their state pension? The government could be paving the way to increase the state pension age to 70, according to reports. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) could follow Denmark's example and link life expectancy to the state pension age, with the country already having pushed the age at which citizens can claim their pension up to 70. The potential plans have been raised as the government undertakes a pensions review to determine the state pension age for decades to come. Independent reviewer Dr Suzy Morrissey is leading the consultation, which has to happen every six years under UK law. Currently, the state pension age is already set to rise to 67 from next year and is scheduled to rise again to 68 between 2044 and 2046. Here's what we know about what is being considered - and what the experts think. What is the government considering? The review is looking at automatically adjusting pension ages to reflect life expectancy increases. The justification is that the move would help keep the public finances sustainable and distribute retirement fairly across generations. Countries employing this method also say that by linking pension age to life expectancy, there is a consistent balance between working years and retirement years for each generation. Denmark, Finland, Italy, and the Netherlands already follow this model, with Denmark set to raise the state pension age to 70 in the 2040s. However, there are some vast differences across these nations. Denmark has a more generous, mainly state-financed national pension, but it has significantly higher pension costs. Pensions take up about 17% of gross domestic product (GDP) spending in the country, compared to around 12% in the UK. Additionally, in countries like Finland and the Netherlands, employers pay a larger share of pension contributions than in the UK. Denmark is an exception where the state finances much of the pension. Finland and Sweden also fund part of pensions through dedicated assets, which helps prepare for ageing populations, unlike the UK's largely pay-as-you-go system. Meanwhile, Italy is believed to be struggling as it is known for having a very ageing population and relatively high pension spending, according to an international pension systems report. Difficult to justify? When analysing the benefits and drawbacks of linking state pension age to life expectancy, Helen Morrissey, head of retirement analysis at Hargreaves Lansdown and pension columnist for Yahoo Finance, said that it's clear putting up the state pension age would work in the government's favour. The government currently spends more on the state pension than on any other benefit, accounting for 12.2% of its GDP in 2023. Added to this, the government remains committed to the triple lock, a policy guaranteeing that the state pension will increase each year by the highest of three measures: inflation, average earnings growth, or 2.5%. "Pushing up state pension age to 70 would help the government to contain the burgeoning state pension bill," Morrissey told Yahoo News. "Increasing the state pension age could help ease the pressure on public finances, especially given the government remains committed to maintaining the triple lock," Lily Megson-Harvey, policy director at My Pension Expert, told Yahoo News. However, there are a lot of important factors that need to be considered, the expert said – including workers' longevity and health. The health life expectancy index is used to record not just the average life expectancy of a person, but the length of time the average person leads a full and healthy life. According to the latest government figures, this stands at 61.5 for a man, and 61.9 for a woman. "We've seen increases in longevity slow down in the aftermath of the pandemic, and this could make such a large increase difficult to justify," Morrissey said. "As recent data shows this figure is currently around 62 years of age, so the reality is that there are many people who will not be in a position to keep on working into their late sixties and beyond as their health simply won't allow it. "The state pension forms the foundation of many people's retirement income and thought needs to be given as to how to make up that gap between leaving the workforce and receiving their state pension." As the Centre for Ageing Better has highlighted, the main reasons older workers leave or cannot re-enter the workforce are down to health problems and disability. Added to this, many people struggle to find employment later in life. The UK employment rate for people aged 55 to 64 is only 65%, compared with 75–81% in similar European countries, showing that older workers have significantly lower employment rates than younger or middle-aged groups. Older workers are much less likely to be employed than those aged 35 to 49, with the biggest gap in areas like the North East, where there is an almost 20% difference. Morrissey told Yahoo News: "Many people feel overlooked in the job market later in life and this is a huge issue for them personally as well as the job market as a whole. "It is vital that more is done to keep older workers in work for longer so they can pass on their experience and skills while enabling them to continue to build their financial resilience. "We need to see more done to train older workers in new skills as well as the provision of more flexible working practices to enable those who are willing and able to keep working to do so," she added. What about lowering the pension age? Pension reform and age increases have been a long-standing source of controversy. Most recently, the government rejected calls for compensation for Waspi women, who argued they were inadequately informed about the state pension age rise, and either needed to work for additional years or face financial hardship while waiting for their pension. Former shadow cabinet minister Diane Abbott thinks the touted increase is "morally unacceptable", pointing out that almost a third of people never make it to the age of 70. Dr Will Stronge, CEO of the Autonomy Institute, also takes this view. "Raising the state pension age to 70, while intended to preserve fiscal sustainability, risks disproportionately penalising those in poor health, precarious employment or caregiving roles, many of whom cannot continue working until such an advanced age," he told Yahoo News. "It would exacerbate existing inequalities, especially among women, low‑income groups, and those with interrupted work histories who already face inadequate pension coverage. "It also undermines efforts to ensure dignified retirement and social cohesion in an ageing society, shifting burdens onto those least able to bear them." Stronge said that "instead of pushing the age higher", there is a strong case for lowering the pension age. "This is for health, wellbeing and wider care responsibility reasons. At the least, we should focus on reforms that strengthen pension adequacy, encourage fair contributions, and support healthy work-life balance," he added. Megson-Harvey echoes this. "Increasing the state pension age risks deepening inequalities. Many people, especially those in physically demanding jobs or with lower incomes, may struggle to work longer or save enough privately, making them more reliant on the state pension," she said. "This is precisely why long-term pension reform must include access to affordable, personalised financial advice, so that everyone, regardless of income or background, can make informed decisions and adapt their plans with confidence when the rules change." The government declined to comment.
