One of Liz Truss's first acts as Prime Minister was to announce a giant plan to protect domestic energy users from huge rises in wholesale gas and electricity costs, meaning a typical household will pay about 拢1000 less than otherwise would have been the case. We ask how much the Energy Price Guarantee will cost the government and also explain what a 鈥渢ypical鈥� household really is. A consultation has opened into whether we鈥檇 like more of our goods and services priced in imperial measures 鈥� but some listeners are suggesting a survey on the issue is biased against metric. And we examine a claim made on the 麻豆官网首页入口鈥檚 Springwatch programme that all of the gardens in Newcastle are bigger than the combined size of our national parks.
