UK Treasury offers $130 one-off payment to 20 million households and energy bills relief in face of Iran war shock

British Treasury chief John Healey used his first budget statement Wednesday to offer households and businesses support with their energy bills this winter in the face of what he termed “global economic storms.” Healey, who was appointed chancellor of the exchequer in July when Andy Burnham became prime minister , said the Iran war was not something the British government wanted. As a result, he said his “choice in the budget today is to give families and businesses some breathing space now,” as the consequences of the conflict in the Gulf played out.
