Sunak 'planning energy bill discount and tax cut' as Brits grapple with cost of livingChancellor Rishi Sunak is reportedly planning to increase the warm home discount before cutting taxes in the autumn to help struggling Brits cope with the cost of living crisis. About bloody time - lets stop the green taxes while we're at it If successive governments had a sensible Energy policy he would not have needed to increase it, as it stands it should now be £1500. 😮 Dear god - it should be compulsory for government ministers to live on minimum wage for 6 months after appointment.

What options does the government have to ease cost of living crisis?Labour, business leaders and Conservative MPs have urged the government to bring in measures to help people struggling with the cost of living, which has increased dramatically this year and is expected to rise further. Governments have only one real plank these days: importing people. Which actually makes everything worse, but they have some brainwashed to think that it doesn't, so they take that as a win. ask biden to stop sanctioning russian energy. The government should be doing more to support and ease the cost of living crisis through reducing prices on everything instead of increasing prices on everything which is affecting everyone right now and the government is just not doing enough right now?!
