UK authorities are implementing multiple measures to address cost of living pressures. These include a £150 energy bill discount available to eligible households, though many may be unaware of or missing the application deadline. Additionally, the Prime Minister is advancing legislation to ban deceptive 'subscription trap' practices that prevent consumers from easily canceling subscriptions, as part of a wider cost-of-living relief initiative.
