Data error may have pushed up UK inflation, rate cut bets in April: ONS
The data error means the inflation rate would have been closer to the 3.3 per cent consensus forecast and 3.4 per cent predicted by the central bank Bloomberg Britain's statistics agency said it overstated the official inflation rate due to a mistake in numbers it was given on vehicle taxes, the latest in a string of errors to plague the country's economic data. The Office for National Statistics said Thursday the headline inflation rate was 0.1 per cent higher than it should have been in April's market-rattling figures, as a result of incorrect vehicle excise duty data from the government's transport department. While the ONS will not revise its inflation estimate, it will use the correct data for May. The error may have contributed to the sharp market reaction to April's inflation data. It means that the spike in prices seen in April was less severe than first thought after inflation jumped to a 15-month high of 3.5 per cent. The bigger-than-expected pick-up in price pressures in April's initial data prompted traders to cut bets on an easing in interest rates by the Bank of England. It helped to retrench expectations of fewer reductions after the central bank's hawkish tone at the May meeting. The data error means the inflation rate would have been closer to the 3.3 per cent consensus forecast and 3.4 per cent predicted by the central bank and a plurality of economists including Bloomberg Economics. Markets were little changed following Thursday's statement, fully pricing in one more rate cut for this year. Other volatile factors are thought to have pushed up April's figure with the ONS collecting price data for air fares over Easter when demand spikes. Credibility The error is the latest to undermine the credibility of the UK's official economic statistics after a series of high-profile problems that first hit its labor market statistics before spreading to other numbers. It is the second time in recent months that its price statistics have been affected by errors with the ONS suspending its producer price figures in March. The ONS has faced mounting pressure and is awaiting the outcome of a government probe into its failings. It is also without a permanent head after National Statistician Ian Diamond resigned last month on health grounds. The latest error related to an overstatement of the number of vehicles subject to vehicle excise duty rates applicable in the first year of registration. VED is a tax applied to every vehicle using public roads in the UK, adjusted according to their environmental impact. It is expected to raise over £9 billion ($12.2 billion) in the current fiscal year, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility. 'This has the effect of overstating the headline Consumer Price Inflation (CPI) and Retail Prices Index (RPI) annual rates by 0.1 percentage points for the year to April 2025 only. No other periods are affected,' the ONS said in a statement. 'We are reviewing our quality assurance processes for external data sources in light of this issue.'

Bengaluru stampede: BJP blames ‘credit war' between Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar, demands resignations
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the Congress-led Karnataka government, holding Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar responsible for the stampede that claimed 11 lives near Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The party has demanded both leaders resign immediately, alleging a breakdown in coordination and crowd management. Also Read - Bengaluru cops warned against immediate RCB event but were ignored: Report Thousands of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) supporters had gathered outside the stadium to welcome their team after its historic IPL title win. What began as a celebratory moment turned tragic as overcrowding spiraled into chaos, leading to a deadly stampede that also left 33 injured. Senior BJP leader R Ashoka alleged that a turf war between the chief minister and his deputy had contributed to the confusion. 'This is nothing short of state-sponsored murder,' Ashoka said in a strongly worded post on X (formerly Twitter). 'There's growing suspicion that the internal tussle for credit between Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar led to this disaster,' he added. Ashoka criticised Deputy CM Shivakumar—who also handles the Bengaluru city portfolio—for skipping on-ground responsibilities. 'He should have been at the venue overseeing preparations. Instead, he was busy posing for photos at the airport,' he alleged. 'The police were clueless until the last minute on whether a victory parade would happen. Basic emergency arrangements like ambulances and fire engines were also missing despite knowing the crowd would be huge.' Also Read - 'Please don't cut his body': Heartbreaking plea from father of Bengaluru stampede victim Echoing similar sentiments, BJP national spokesperson and MP Sambit Patra called the tragedy a "government-manufactured stampede" and demanded accountability from the state's top leadership. 'Eleven innocent people are dead and dozens injured because of administrative failure. The CM and Deputy CM must step down,' Patra said. He also targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, questioning his silence on the matter. 'Rahul Gandhi never misses a chance to criticise India or the Prime Minister. But where is he now? Will he take action against his own party leaders in Karnataka?' Patra asked, suggesting that Gandhi summon both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar and seek their resignations. Meanwhile, the DK Shivakumar asked BJP to not politicize such sensitive issues and asked them to show empathy towards the families of victims.
