Measures to combat energy crisis to be revealed in bid to deflect Partygate anger

The government is poised to unveil measures aimed at easing the cost of living crisis in order to offset public anger over the Sue Gray Partygate report. The communications grid - the planning document used by government spin doctors - includes an extension to the warm homes discount.

Rishi Sunak, the chancellor, has concluded that a one-off windfall tax is needed, despite having opposed the measure previously, it has been reported. The tax could be announced tomorrow. The measures are expected to be worth hundreds of pounds to some households.
