Reeves plans energy bill help for those 'who need it most'

TL;DR

The government plans to help "those who need it most" if energy bills spiral due to the US-Israel war with Iran. Chancellor Rachel Reeves said contingency planning was under way for "every eventuality", noting the full impact of the war on the UK economy was uncertain. Energy bills for millions of people in England, Scotland, and Wales are about to fall for three months from April under Ofgem's price cap, which is updated quarterly, but there is likely to be a big jump in gas and electricity costs over the summer.
