Rising prices across the board sent UK inflation soaring higher in February as the cost of living crisis intensified, according to official figures.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation rose to 6.2% in February, up from 5.5% in January and again reaching the highest level since March 1992, when it stood at 7.1%.
The rise was higher than expected and comes after prices lifted across food, clothing and footwear and a range of products and services.
