indication from what the energy companies have put forward that there is a big meeting with them — kwasi kwartengjob, but it's not happening. in this meeting, the energy meetings put forward this skill that would be £100 billion, huge money for the government where loans would be provided to the energy companies to allow them to keep the price cap where it is and not to increase further, and it would be paid back at some point in the future when bills start to stabilise and they are able to put that towards the government. there's lots of ideas in the offering but we just don't know how long this will last. today is ukrainian independence day, and it's an absolutely amazing feat that a nation that everyone thought would be trumped by russia is still standing and fighting nobly. but it's a reminder that this will be a long slog, and all this is predicated on energy prices staying the same. what if they lit up at gas and oil? that could put even more pressure on energy companies. br; and oil? that could put even more pressure on energy companies. by the ener: pressure on energy companies. by the en

the business secretary kwasi kwarteng there.e to yael selfin, chief economist for kpmg. she explained what the impact of raising interest rates will be. raising interest rates essentially means that it is more costly for companies to borrow, it is more costly for households to borrow, and whatever debts they have, that would cost them more. it may take a little bit of time because a lot of the mortgages that people have at the moment are at fixed rates, so that would take time. but ultimately, the main way in which the bank of england could influence is raising interest rates, which makes credit more costly, which means that people and companies are likely to spend less — to invest less, in the case of companies, but also to spend less because their costs are rising. and that would slow the growth of the economy. it would potentially make the demand for things weaker. and as a result of that, given that we are going to have more more spare capacity in the economy, that would make the economy less hot, if you like, and therefore

the bbc also understands that the business secretary kwasi kwarteng has not sought advice from government electricity. there are warnings still that older people may be forced to decide between heating or eating this winter as energy bills soar. that warning from age uk comes alongside a forecast from one of the uk's major energy suppliers that half of uk households could find themselves struggling to afford their fuel bills this winter. we have seen a rise in the number of calls from customers that are struggling to pay their bills by 30% since the beginning of this year, so definitely my teams, myself, see every day in fact customers that are struggling and are under the stress at the prospect of paying their bills for the winter. and obviously we are very keen to work with the next prime minister as soon as it will be appointed in order to find a solution, and to assess all the solutions that are on the table. our business correspondent emma simpsonjoins me. another stark warning, and there's so much pressure on people and on the government. the edf boss saying today that without furth

energy bosses arrive| shortly to meet with the chancellor nadim zahawi and the business secretary kwasi kwartengting asked if there is anything more they can do to help consumers at the moment. nadim zahawi appreciates that wholesale costs are high for these energy companies but essentially they will be asking if there is a way that they can lower bills. there may be some discussions about the idea of a windfall tax. we know that they are coming in for oil and gas companies. they could theoretically be extended to also apply to electricity generators, but it is not something those in government at the moment are keen on, and even if there was further discussion of that it is likely it will be presented as an option to the next prime minister rather than implemented at the moment because the government are saying decisions, especially to do with tax and spend, are not for an outgoing prime minister to make back for a new prime minister to make. what is likely to happen? rishi sunak has said he wants to give more payments to vulnerable families in the form of energy bill rebates but crucially we d
