It appears that all insurers premiums have sky rocketed, blamed (by them) upon increased costs for repairs due to (a) wage inflation (b) higher energy costs (of repairers) (c) higher parts costs (production and transportation).

Definitely - my car insurance went up by 25% despite no change in circumstance. It's also become a lot harder to use comparison sites as a load of "very cheap" insurers have cropped up, which when you look at reviews appear to be very good at taking your premium, and terrible at everything else - some of them tagging onto established brands, but actually run by different companies - so if something looks a lot cheaper than the more established brands, especially if it looks like a budget version of a well known brand, make sure to do due diligance first.
