In The Room | Energy crisis: Is Nigel Farage really going to pay your bills?

As the war in the Middle East escalates, energy prices are soaring and the government is scrambling to provide emergency support.

Nigel Farage’s latest stunt promises to pay the energy bills of an entire street (provided they give him lots of their data first). Meanwhile, Ed Milliband announced £53million to try and ease the energy crisis – but is it really enough to help families who are struggling with the cost of living? And how is Starmer faring as the ‘special relationship’ with Trump becomes increasingly tense?

New episodes of In The Room drop every Friday. You can listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or watch on YouTube.
