Inflation is rising faster than earnings, leading to a squeeze on living standards. With wage growth lagging behind inflation for the first time since mid-2014, the 麻豆社's Economics editor Kamal Ahmed and 麻豆社 Business editor Simon Jack look at the challenges facing whoever wins the general election. They're joined by Laura Gardiner, Senior Research and Policy Analyst from the Resolution Foundation.
