Rishi Sunak is being urged to cut VAT to help families across the country deal with the rising cost of inflation.
The latest Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures revealed earlier today the rate of inflation rose again last month, remaining at 40-year highs and deepening the squeeze felt by households.
The rate of consumer prices index ( CPI ) inflation rose from 9 per cent in April to 9.1 per cent in May, according to statisticians.
