It's been a rough week for Rishi Sunak - probably the roughest of his short time in Downing Street.
On Monday, the Prime Minister looked painfully weak as he ducked out of a House of Commons vote to confirm the Privileges Committee's findings that his old boss, Boris Johnson, had repeatedly misled parliament over lockdown parties in Downing Street.
It was a damaging episode for Sunak, but much worse was to come. On Tuesday the news broke that despite predictions of a slowdown, inflation - the change in prices for good and services in the country - had remained at 8.7% with core inflation actually increasing to 7.1%.
