BBC Breakfast viewers were quick to share their thoughts as hosts Nina Warhurst and Roger Johnson delivered some “breaking news”.
During Wednesday’s (January 15) instalment of the morning show, the duo revealed that Inflation has risen by 2.5 percent in the 12 months to December 2024, down from 2.6 percent in November 2024.
Speaking to viewers watching at home, Roger said: “The latest inflation figures have just been released as the Government faces scrutiny over its handling of the economy.”
It didn’t take long for fans to rush straight to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their reaction. One viewer fumed, “It didn’t rise by 2.5%; it fell by 0.1%! Get it right!”
Another pointed out: “It did not rise. It fell. hopelessly biased.” a third added: “@BBCBreakfast I bet the BOE hold interests rates which is good for savers and harder for mortgages and loans.”
