The possibility of more rises in food prices is a “major, major worry” for the UK and other countries, Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey warned.

@Peterstefanovi2 tweeted: “As MPS get £2,200 a year pay rise Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey repeats his call for workers to ‘reflect carefully’ about taking a pay rise amid concerns it could fuel inflation.”

@owen_whiteley replied: “Bailey, of course, is the man who apparently can't remember that he is paid £575,000 per annum.”

@johnrussell40 wrote: “You can imagine it can't you? Nurses, teachers, bus drivers, call centre workers, etc, ‘Hmm, I wonder whether I should accept this pay rise? It might fuel inflation’.”

@one4tweet2022 said: “OK, ‘reflected carefully’ and I've decided I want more, not less!”

#JAKEDANIELS

Blackpool footballer Jake Daniels, 17, has become the only openly gay male professional footballer in Britain for 30 years. He is the first professional player in British men's football to come out publicly since the late Justin Fashanu.

@jaquioatley wrote: “It can’t help that Justin Fashanu has been the precedent for so long. Times have changed so much [since] that tragic situation.”

@Jerryhicksunite tweeted: “Massive respect & solidarity. Thank you Jake Daniels."

@steven5573 asked: “Why is this news? This day and age, people shouldn't have to ‘come out’. You are what you are. Not a news story.”

@beaglebugle replied: “The PM called gay men ‘tanktopped bum boys’. That’s why it’s still difficult.”

@smokinjoe8487 added: “This should by now be ordinary but it’s not so it’s... inspiring.”

@minimalsmith said: “Absolute top lad. There will be bigots but I hope the love outweighs the hate.”
