Keir Starmer – 2026 Comments on Fuel Costs

The comments made by Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister, on 20 May 2026.

I know many are feeling the pressure of energy and fuel costs, and are worried about how the conflict in Iran will affect their finances. Because when global events drive up prices, it’s working people who feel it first.

That’s why this government is stepping in to keep fuel costs down for millions of drivers and putting money back in the pockets of working people.
