Cost of living support package being 'worked up' for next PM

[admin]

The government is working on a package of cost of living support for the next prime minister, the chief secretary to the Treasury has said. Simon Clarke, who is one of Liz Truss's most vocal supporters, said: "Of course, the government is working up a package of cost of living support that the next prime minister can consider when they take office." The outgoing prime minister has been facing calls to meet with his two potential successors and thrash out a new financial package of support ahead of a winter crisis that could see household energy bills top £4,200.
