Potential for increases in UKV&I immigration and naturalisation fees

This thread on Twitter suggests that the Home Office budget will start coming under greater pressure from 2022-23 onwards.

The court case for a reduction in child registration (as British citizens) fees has also gone to the UK Supreme Court, after the government has failed twice, in the High Court and in the Court of Appeal. If the UKSC also directs the government to reduce the fees for child registration, the pressure to make up the Home Office budgetary shortfall will likely fall further on immigration and adult naturalisation fees.

That suggests to me that we can again expect a higher-than-inflation increase in both UK immigration fees and in fees for adult naturalisation. It will likely not be this year, but next financial year. Then again, occasionally, fees have been increased partway through the year in the past.
