Her budget raised petrol prices?

Yes, because the pound fell in value over the US dollar because her uncosted budget mess

Oh right the currency that makes sense. I was trying to figure out how a budget from the UK would affect a global commodity price but yes I remember the pound fell hard

 

Although to a lesser degree, just about every currency has dropped against the USD

 

Take my Country. Canada's Dollar has risen against Euro, UK pound, Chinese Yuan and virtually every major other currency...

 

But it still fell a fair bit against the USD and since we buy most of our food from the US, inflation was felt mostly on fruits and vegetables and meat
