British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was met with boos, jeers, and some applause as he arrived at London's St Paul's Cathedral for a Service of Thanksgiving for Queen Elizabeth on Friday, reflecting the mounting pressure he is facing in office.


While former prime ministers received gentle applause as they arrived at the service, Johnson and his wife Carrie were met with boos and jeers from the large crowd of royal fans waiting outside the cathedral.

Some people clapped and cheered his arrival.

Johnson has been forced to apologise multiple times after his staff held a string of rule-breaking parties during national COVID-19 lockdowns, and he himself received a police fine for attending one event himself.

A growing number of lawmakers in his own party have called for Johnson to quit, with speculation he might face a leadership challenge.

Summer energy price hike pushes 13.5m UK households into fuel poverty

  • Britain's energy price cap has risen, adding more than £220 a year to a typical household bill.
  • Around 13.5 million households are now expected to be in fuel poverty.
  • Campaigners warn many families will head into winter with little chance of clearing energy debts.

Britain's energy price cap has increased from July 1, pushing annual household energy bills higher and leaving millions more families at risk of fuel poverty as the country heads towards winter.

The latest increase means a typical household will pay the equivalent of £1,862 a year for gas and electricity under Ofgem's previous calculation method, more than £220 higher than before. Using a revised method that assumes lower energy use, the regulator estimates the average annual bill will be £1,663.
