Um, The Times goes with "Targeted energy bill help to head off winter cost of living crisis." When it says target, is it me that's targeted on that? I often don't like being targeted, but this seems like a nice thing.
Can I have some of that, please? Um, "Ministers are drawing up plans for some targeted help with energy bills for poorer households in the budget." I can have some.
Um, "John Healey, the chancellor, has asked officials for options to cushion..." Oh, so they don't know yet.
If you are one of the ministers about to give options, podcasters probably need some help.
I mean, it's a front page story on The Times, but it feels like a scam, doesn't it? Already it feels like, "According to research by one of the cha..." I tried to think of a charity and I couldn't think of one.
