"In an uncertain and volatile world, it is my government's duty to protect the British people at home and abroad. I know the public are concerned about the conflict in Iran and what it means for them and their families."
"Today, millions of people up and down the country will see energy bills go down by 117, wages go up for the lowest paid, and more support will be available for people who need it most because of the decisions this government has taken."
"But we must go further to bear down on costs, and that means pushing for de-escalation in the Middle East and a re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz. That is the best way we can bring down the cost of living for families and that is my focus."
Sir Keir Starmer is set to address the press regarding the UK's cost of living crisis, particularly in light of rising energy bills linked to the Middle East conflict. The press conference will discuss government support for households facing financial strain. Chancellor Rachel Reeves indicated that any assistance would depend on household income. Starmer has committed to protecting the British public and aims to reduce costs through international de-escalation efforts. He highlighted recent reductions in energy bills and wage increases for low earners as positive outcomes of government actions.
