Britons are facing the biggest decline in living standards since records began in the 1950s, and the highest taxes since WWII, as the economy grinds to a halt this year. The Office of Budget Responsibility (OBR) reported that real household disposable income will drop by 5.7% over the financial years 2022-23 and 2023-24, 1.4 percentage points less than forecast in November. This is due to a surge in energy and consumer goods prices, which has led to a historic fall in disposable incomes. Real living standards are still 0.4% lower than their pre-pandemic levels.
