The hate crime involved anti-Semitic graffiti intended to intimidate the Jewish community; police are investigating and community support has been significant, with concerns about rising hate incidents.
- Ofgem announced a 2% rise in the energy price cap applying from October 1, 2025, affecting typical households in England, Scotland, and Wales.
- This increase follows movements in average wholesale energy rates over a three-month lag period and includes added support funded by all billpayers.
- The cap sets the maximum price per energy unit for about 20 million households but does not fix total bills, which vary by usage and tariff type.
- Average bills will rise by approximately £2.93 monthly, raising the default tariff cost to £102 per month, while 37% of customers on fixed tariffs avoid this increase.
- The rise signals ongoing price volatility, with longer-term relief expected only from a transition to clean energy and measures to strengthen consumer protections.
