Good Morning Britain threw viewers a curveball on Wednesday morning (26 March) when Susanna Reid cut into the usual chat with a breaking update on the UK economy—just hours ahead of the government’s Spring Statement, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Sitting alongside Richard Madeley, Susanna broke the news that inflation had dipped slightly last month, delivering what could be a small win for the Chancellor. “Our breaking news this morning, good news for the Chancellor perhaps,” she began. “The cost of living fell last month, according to official figures released in the last few minutes. Inflation went down by 0.2 per cent in February.”
