Summary

Energy saving tips roll in ahead of a coming bill tsunami – what cost of living omens await this week? Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi has warned middle earners will struggle with payments, and broke with colleagues by suggesting that people limit their usage. Plus, the latest from Ukraine, amid a counter-offensive in the Kherson region. And, back home, further strikes are due to be held. Justin Quirk and Yasmeen Serhan discuss the week ahead. "It feels like there hasn’t really been much of a Government the last few weeks.” – Yasmeen Serhan  "You put people in this precarious position where they ask, ‘Am I going to heat my flat or put it towards other groceries?’” – Yasmeen Serhan  “Boris Johnson made a point wanting to stay on, but in that time it hasn’t felt like he’s wanted to lead.” – Yasmeen Serhan “If you’re going to have a leadership contest this long, you need to have plans in place so government continues.” – Yasmeen Serhan https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Presented by Justin Quirk with Yasmeen Serhan.
