In the end, the pressure was so great that Liz Truss had no choice. She had been in office for just two days on Thursday, and the new British prime minister had already announced a massive aid package to help her compatriots get through the energy crisis. Cost point: 150 billion pounds, i.e. the equivalent of 173 billion euros. “People are struggling with their electricity and gas bills and I want to give them the reassurance that the bills will remain affordable,” Truss said in the British House of Commons.
