Starmer meets bosses to tackle household bills

British households may receive support for their energy bills next winter, as concerns persist that global events could lead to continued price volatility for months. Keir Starmer will host high-level representatives from the energy, finance, shipping, and insurance sectors at Downing Street on Monday to devise strategies for alleviating the conflict's consequences. Attendees for the meeting in Downing Street were not specified to include the Governor of the Bank of England or specific government secretaries, though other officials were involved in related discussions.
