- UK Nearly 70% of pubs in the UK may face closure, due to skyrocketing energy bills if the government fails to provide an urgent relief package soon. Sacha Lord, head of the Night Time Industries Association, urged the government to act without delay as businesses remain in the dark over their future, according to a report by local newspaper The Independent. The new government of Prime Minister Liz Truss last week said bills of households will be frozen until 2024, but did not reveal a detailed plan for businesses, promising six months of "equivalent" relief.
