Healey urged to offer energy support in budget as bills rise 4%

The UK government is facing pressure to offer energy support in the upcoming budget as energy bills are set to rise by 4% from Thursday, increasing the average annual cost for a typical home to £1,723. This increase will affect millions of people in Great Britain, and the government is being urged to provide relief. The situation highlights the impact of worldwide economic shocks on the UK economy, and the government's budget will be closely watched for its ability to cushion these effects.
