Cost of living: UK inflation hits 10.1% as prices rocket

We know that food and soft drinks made the largest contribution to the rise in prices in July.
But within that category the biggest movements came from bread and cereals at 0.06 percentage points and milk, cheese and eggs at 0.05 percentage points, the ONS says.
Meanwhile vegetables, meat, sugar, jam, honey, syrup, chocolate and confectionary each contributed 0.04 percentage points to the change in the annual rate, the figures show.
Much of these food rises reflect the spike in the costs of raw ingredients such as wheat and grain earlier in the year, post invasion of Ukraine.
Some, especially grain, edible oils, have eased substantially since - but that typically will take around 6 months to impact shelf-edge prices
The ONS also says transport cost were another large contributing factor, with petrol, air fares and international rail tickets particularly increasing.
