0:00 35:50

How will Keir Starmer protect our living standards from the soaring energy costs caused by Trump’s Iran war? Can the Chancellor afford to subsidise our heating bills? And should the Prime Minister say yes to Trump’s request for British minesweeping drones and ships to be sent to the Straits of Hormuz?

Steph and Robert discuss the options available to the government to limit the economic damage from the Iran war.

The Rest is Money is brought to you by Octopus Energy, Britain’s smart energy pioneer.
