British consumer confidence fell this month to its lowest level since the immediate aftermath of the EU referendum, crimped by worries around rising inflation pressures, a survey showed on Friday.
Pollster YouGov and the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr) said their gauge of consumer morale fell by one point to 108.1 in December, the lowest level since July.
The survey found a sizeable drop-off in optimism about household finances over the coming 12 months, with inflation set to rise sharply.
