Limited British help to households to manage fallout from war with Iran British Chancellor of the Exchequer John Healey announced on Wednesday in his first budget statement that he would provide limited help to households and businesses to pay their energy bills this winter. He clarified that this action is being done in response to "global economic storms". Haley, who was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer in July after the resignation of Keir Starmer and the election of Andy Burnham as prime minister, said the Labor government did not want war with Iran but had no choice but to deal with the economic consequences.
