Millions of households in Great Britain are facing significant increases in their energy, water, and council tax bills this week, with the energy price cap rising by £111 to £1,849 annually for the typical dual-fuel household. The Resolution Foundation warns that poorer households will suffer the most from these hikes. Additionally, recent welfare cuts announced by the chancellor may push more individuals into poverty. Personal accounts from residents highlight the struggles to adapt to these rising costs, revealing deep concern for their financial futures.

The increases in household bills come less than a week as the chancellor unveiled a package of welfare cuts.
