Show Notes
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer convenes a Cobra meeting to address the escalating energy crisis, triggered by the Iran-US conflict. Average energy bills are projected to surge by nearly £300 in July, while fuel costs have already risen by £544 million. Irans actions have led to a spike in global oil and gas prices, with recent attacks on Kuwaiti oil tankers underscoring the shipping risks. While the Ofgem price cap drops this week, its forecast to reach £1,929 by July, an 18% increase. The government is reviewing fuel duty rises and launching a fuel price app. Amid US threats, Starmer hosts Syrias President and Defence Secretary meets Gulf allies, all while the UK focuses on protecting families and promoting peace through diplomatic channels.
