In view of the fact it costs more, particularly in terms of heating, to live in rural settings, we will be keeping a close eye on how the skyrocketing price of oil and gas plays out in rural communities. The relationship between heating and health is key from a Casebook perspective. This story tells us:
Labour is calling for an emergency budget to bring forward more measures to tackle the cost of living crisis.
Surges in fuel, energy and food prices are hitting people's pockets, with inflation running at a 30-year high.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer told the BBC's Sunday Morning show the government's response had been "woeful" and demanded further measures like a windfall tax on energy firms.
A Downing Street source said the PM was working to ease the burden on families.
They said the PM was also focused on growing the economy, adding the Queen's Speech, where the government outlines its future policies, was coming up and these issues were "utterly central to what the government is trying to do".
The SNP called for an emergency budget earlier this month, saying the Tories had ignored the cost of living crisis "brewing under its watch".
The party's Treasury spokeswoman, Alison Thewliss, said: "Warm words now won't heat up homes or food - only action will.
"The chancellor must immediately return to Parliament with an emergency budget that finally puts money into people's pockets."
