Why don't people trust government(s)?
Well, here's one thing that might contribute to that.
The Treasury is considering shifting the month tracked for annual #benefits uplifts because while the (established) month of September saw CPI #inflation was 6.7% while the following month's was 4.6%... prompting the proposition of a considerable saving by delaying the tracking-month, by a month.
It was bad enough when they shifted from RPI to CPI as the former is usually more than the latter!
