πΉ Labour is delivering real help with the cost of living from April πΉ
At a time when so many families are still feeling the pressure, it is good to see practical support that makes a real difference. π
Here is some of the cost of living help available from April under the current Labour administration:
β‘ Energy bill support β households are set to save on bills, alongside the Β£150 Warm Home Discount for eligible customers.
π· A pay boost for workers β the National Living Wage and Minimum Wage are rising by 4%, putting more money in peopleβs pockets.
π Rail fare freeze βregulated rail fares across England and parts of Wales are frozen for 2026.
π Prescription charges capped β prescription costs in England will stay under Β£10 for 2026.
π΅ State Pension increase β the State Pension is rising by 4.8% from April.
πΆ More free childcare β eligible working parents can access up to 30 hours of funded childcare.
π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ Universal Credit change β families will receive support for all children, regardless of family size.
π₯£ Free breakfast clubs β support for families and a better start to the school day for children.
This is what Labour government should do: help working people, support families, and ease the pressure on household budgets.
