UK inflation rises to 3.1% in the year to August, according to reporting across outlets.
The figure refers to how consumer prices change compared with the same month a year earlier. While one outlet states the headline increase, the available excerpts do not specify the underlying drivers of the rise, such as which components contribute most or whether energy, food, or services are driving the change. No additional context is provided in the supplied text about forecasts from analysts, comparisons with prior months, or how the rate differs from other inflation measures.
