约瑟夫·朗特里基金会发布分析警告，英国即将经历现代有记录以来最严重的生活水平下滑1。该基金会预测，到2029-30年英国家庭平均收入（扣除住房成本后的实际价值）将下降440至770英镑，即使按最低估计也将创1961年以来最大降幅1。
针对这一危机，财政大臣约翰·希利在即将公布的预算案中计划提供10亿英镑的能源援助，并考虑将温暖家庭折扣提高100英镑1。然而，朗特里基金会认为这些措施力度不足，呼吁政府采取更大胆的政策行动1。
生活成本压力来自多方面。油价已升至每桶100美元以上，英格兰银行预计到明年底基准利率可能上升至4.75%1。五年期固定利率抵押贷款平均成本本周首次达到6%，为三年来最高1。预测显示典型家庭双燃料账单可能在明年第一季度上升16%，相当于年费用2000英镑1。
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation has released analysis warning that Britain's Labour government confronts an unprecedented living standards emergency, with household incomes projected to decline by between £440 and £770 by 2029-30 in real terms after housing costs, representing the largest fall since records began in 1961 even at the lower end of estimates 1. The foundation's assessment comes as Chancellor of the Exchequer John Healey prepares to announce £1 billion in additional energy support in an upcoming budget announcement, though the foundation contends such measures remain insufficient and calls for bolder policy action 1.
Energy costs and mortgage burdens are intensifying the economic pressures facing households. Oil prices have climbed above $100 per barrel, while the Bank of England anticipates base rates could reach 4.75% by the end of next year 1. Fixed-rate mortgages have reached an average cost of 6% this week—the highest level in three years—and typical household dual-fuel bills are projected to spike 16% in the first quarter of next year to around £2,000 annually 1. Healey is considering raising the Warm Home Discount by £100 from its current level 1, yet the scale of these interventions appears modest relative to the forecast decline in living standards. The Prime Minister has committed to addressing four decades of economic missteps, though the chancellor's budget is anticipated to be relatively measured in its approach 1.
