イギリスのインフレ率が低下したという記事です。
UK inflation rate falls to four-year low in November

The UK's inflation rate, as measured by the consumer prices index, fell to a four-year low of 2.1% in November, down from 2.2% the month before.

The Office for National Statistics said the change was caused by slower increases in food and energy prices.

The ONS said this was because the impact of recently announced rises in energy prices were yet to take effect.

Inflation as measured by the retail prices index (RPI) remained unchanged at 2.6%.
Utility costs

Despite November's drop, economists warned inflation was likely to rise in December as energy prices began to increase.

"This good news may not last too long, however, given the increases in utility costs that are to hit the basket next month, courtesy of recent price rises by energy providers," said Jeremy Cook, chief economist at foreign exchange company, World First.

以前にも"basket"は何度か取り上げられております。put all one’s eggs in one basket - 田邉祐司ゼミ 常時英心：言葉の森から]

　この記事の中に出てくる”basket”の意味を調べました。Weblioで調べると「かご，バスケット，ゴール得点」などしか出てきませんでした。そこで，経済用語を調べたところ「マーケット・バスケット方式」という言葉がありました。意味は，一定の生活を営むために必要な生活用品やサービスの量を決定し生活費を算定する方法をさすとありました。つまりこの記事での”basket”は家計消費額というニュアンスであると考えました（Ume）
