INFLATION is expected to increase to its highest level for 21 months as more pressure piles on the Chancellor and the Bank of England.

Economists have predicted Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation will have hit 4% in September, when the Office for National Statistics reveals its latest data today.

It would mark the highest level since January 2024.

Inflation struck 3.8% in July and August amid pressure from rising food prices, as firms highlighted increased tax and labour costs.

Economists at Pantheon Macroeconomics predicted that higher motor fuel and airfare prices would help drive inflation to 4% in September.

It also pointed towards "strong clothes prices" for the month, but indicated this could be offset by "slightly softer" services price inflation.
