The use of the phrase "cost of living" rather than inflation
They're not the same are they though?
Inflation is when a coffee costs more or birch ply is so expensive you sapel your kitchen cabinets instead.
Cost of living is when a family with two working parents is struggling to get through the month.
That yougov poll illustrates how disconnected our political elite are from the electorate. The use of the phrase "cost of living" rather than inflation shows that they think our heads button up at the back.
