Link broken, here’s different source:

Inflation unexpectedly dipped to 9.9% in August, down from 10.1% in July, on the back of a fuel price decline.

Increasing food, transport and energy prices were the biggest contributing factors to inflation, the ONS said. Food was up 14.6% year-on-year, transport was up 10.9% compared to last year, while the price of furniture and household goods rose 10.8%.

As european countries scramble to buy energy so their local economies can keep the lights on, it will of course raise energy prices that other countries use to buy and ship things.

There's a game to played here on which country receives most of the pain, but everyone loses in absolute terms.

In terms of inflation it’s covering 50 of the last 52 weeks, so hardly irrelevant.
