"Polly Billington warned that economic pain was hurtling down the tracks and a bigger response was needed to protect the British people from the consequences of the US-Israeli war on Iran."
"She stated that the impending energy crisis caused by the war was as big as the financial crash and required a response of equal magnitude."
"Billington suggested that we could be bringing together allies to agree on emergency cooperation to stabilize energy markets, protect supply chains, and accelerate the global transition away from fossil fuels."
"She cautioned that the alternative to a coordinated response is a 'Hunger Games' world of resource conflict, scarcity, and coercion."
Polly Billington emphasized the urgency of a global energy summit to mitigate the impending energy crisis linked to the US-Israeli war on Iran.

Billington advocated for emergency cooperation among nations to stabilize energy markets and accelerate the transition from fossil fuels.
