British households are facing a "grim picture" despite a £100 energy bill support measure for the poorest families announced in the latest budget, according to warnings from Healey.
Budget measures
The budget includes a £100 energy bill help targeted at the poorest households, but Healey cautioned that the overall squeeze on living standards remains severe.
Household impact
The support is unlikely to offset broader cost-of-living pressures, leaving many families still struggling with high energy costs and inflation.
