The conflict in the Middle East demonstrates once again the need to get off the fossil fuel rollercoaster and drive for homegrown clean power that we control.
As we drive forward with this agenda, we have also taken immediate action, including by removing £150 of costs off energy bills and expanding the Warm Homes Discount scheme to 6 million families, and we will keep doing all we can to help families in advance of winter.
