Before departing No. 10, Boris Johnson declined to assist with energy expenses

Boris Johnson declined to assist Britons with energy costs and increasing prices before leaving No10.

As he returned from his honeymoon, Downing Street suggested he shouldn’t undertake budgetary initiatives.

Mr Johnson remains in control until the Tory leadership contest on September 6. He’ll earn £13,600 at that time.

Before Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak take control, no decisions will be made about further initiatives.

The returning PM and Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi face criticism over the ‘vacuum’ in government.

Last week, the Bank of England raised interest rates by 0.5% and warned of a five-quarter recession and 13% inflation, two percentage points higher than predicted.

It implies higher bills in October.

‘It will be up to the next prime minister to determine whether physical or budgetary actions are needed,’ his spokesperson added.

When asked whether the PM had been’missing in action,’ the spokesperson answered ‘no’ and added, ‘a lot has been done.

The prime minister will talk to the chancellor on cost-of-living help later this year.

Gordon Brown criticised two senior lawmakers for not cutting short their vacations today.

Former Labour PM Blair urged returning Parliament from its extended summer break, saying a decision in September would be ‘too late’ for 27.7 million Britons suffering fuel poverty in October.

“There must be a leader.” Nobody is at the wheel, he said Good Morning Britain.

Boris and his chancellor are on vacation, while the two leadership hopefuls campaign.

‘A vacuum exists at the centre of government, and it must be addressed swiftly if we’re to safeguard people by October.

I know from experience that you must move swiftly to address benefits and tax concerns if you want to implement changes on schedule.

Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss battled over the cost-of-living problem amid signals the public wants the incoming Tory PM to control inflation before giving out tax cuts.

The Foreign Secretary, the favourite to enter No10 in four weeks, promised to slash National Insurance and green taxes on bills within days of entering office.

He accused her of’starry-eyed boosterism’ after saying he won’t lower taxes until inflation is under control. Her camp called him the “founder of a recession.”

Two-thirds of people feel inflation should be the incoming PM’s first concern, according to a YouGov survey for the Times. Only 17% think they should decrease taxes.

Brandon Lewis supported Ms Truss for saying there will be no ‘handouts’ for households with spiralling bills and high street costs.

Mr. Brown told Sky News, ‘We know tax cuts won’t help because they go to the wealthy, not the poor.’

I’d propose changing Universal Credit to provide individuals the money they need and limiting energy prices.

That would reduce inflation and aid the neediest. None of these issues are being explored as they should be, and that’s unacceptable.’

  10. To keep the heating and lights on for their dog in the winter, dog owners may be spending close to £300 annually. In his studies, energy efficiency expert Dr. David Glew has observed numerous instances of people leaving the central heating on in their vacant homes to keep their pets warm. He cautions that having the heating on for a dog might increase the annual gas bill in a big family house by £240. Dr. Glew estimates that leaving the lights on for a pet in a few rooms for six hours a day may cost £50 a year with contemporary spotlights or £12 a year with LED lightbulbs. While leaving a fan on would only cost £5, leaving the air conditioning on throughout the entire house may cost hundreds more per year. The majority of healthy pets have enough fur to keep them warm, according to veterinarians, so turning on the heat or air conditioning is typically unnecessary. This month at the Cheltenham Science Festival, Dr. Glew, director of energy efficiency and policy at Leeds Beckett University, brought up the subject in a discussion. There is no need to leave the heater on for pets, he said, but if owners feel they must, they might think about solely heating the room the dog enjoys or lowering the thermostat or radiator dial. According to Energy Saving Trust research from 2015, 43% of pet owners leave the heat on for their animals.To keep the heating and lights on for their dog in the winter, dog owners may be spending close to £300 annually.
