Britons woke up this morning to the prospect of much higher energy bills.
But it's not just the cost of gas and electricity that is soaring, other household bills are also rising dramatically.
Fuel prices, national insurance, council tax and the water bills may push many families to the brink.
Laura Bundock spoke to residents in the Bushbury South and Low Hill neighbourhood of Wolverhampton about how they are coping.

My goodness God help these people. Being wraped up in blankets in bed with the lights all off is not living. Their government has to find a better way to helps its residents. They have the meter system in their houses so once the meter starts to get low they have to put money in it so the heat does not get shut off this is the worse system ever created and I would go as far to say it is very mean to put people in positions like that. I really feel for these people. That man cannot even sit in his home and relax because he will freeze to death so he has to stay on buses and trains to keep warm. Boris should try living in that mans shoes for a week I am sure he would not last.

The UK is interested in projecting itself internationally with the ongoing conflict, leading a global pro-sanctions and pro-military aid campaign to Kiev. The US historically occupies this type of position, but there is strong popular pressure on Biden to avoid a new war, which leads Washington to take a more realistic stance. Only in the EU there is a more genuine interest in peace, as the conflict directly affects the European continent and impacts trade and energy supply, leading Europeans to also act realistically when advising Zelensky. The UK, on the other hand, as not a member of the EU and being free from US social pressures, remains able to occupy this position of “global anti-Russian leader”, which is why it has acted in such a destabilizing way!!
