Energy crisis: Is Farage really going to pay your bills?

This week, as the war in the Middle East escalated, energy prices were soaring while the government scrambled to provide emergency support. Some £53million of support was announced by Ed Milliband, but is it really enough to help families who are struggling with the cost of living?

In this episode we pull apart the UK’s cost of living malaise: Nigel Farage’s headline‑grabbing pledge to pay the energy bills of an entire street, how serious the threat of new Trump tariffs really is, and ask why Britain is so exposed to geopolitical shocks.
