'Awful April' will see a range of corporate price raises for vital services feeding through into inflation.... but, the BoE/MPC are unlikely to yell about corporate profiteering, they'll continue to talk about 'inflationary pressures', and will then seek to find a way to make this about continuing wage rises not the 'maintenance' of profits.

its a pincer movement between interest rates & living costs engineered by a political class seeking to 'discipline' workers into quiescence
