Quote in The National newspaper:

Robert Palmer, Deputy Director of Uplift, warned the effects could go beyond energy bills: “This is a blow to UK households but not unexpected. The Iran conflict is set to bring a painful economic hit to the UK with higher energy bills, rocketing food prices and more expensive mortgages.”

He added: “It’s clear that the UK’s dependence on fossil fuels is making all of us poorer.”
