Kelly Birkett, a mother of two, said the energy bills help announced in the government’s budget would not improve her family’s financial position.
Support criticised as insufficient
Birkett said her household would be “no better off” following the budget announcement. Her comments suggest that the assistance announced by the government may not provide enough relief for her family’s energy costs.
Household impact
The response highlights the personal impact of energy bill support, with Birkett arguing that the help does not go far enough for her household.
Her assessment came after the government announced the measure as part of its budget.
