These are voluntary measures governments, businesses, and households could adopt, including:<ul><li>Work from home where possible (to cut commuting fuel use).<\/li><li>Reduce highway speed limits by at least 10 km\/h.<\/li><li>Encourage public transport, carpooling, or avoid air travel when alternatives exist.<\/li><li>In homes: Use energy-efficient appliances, shift to air fryers or other lower-energy cooking methods instead of traditional ovens\/gas cookers, and similar efficiency steps.<\/li><\/ul>The IEA&#8217;s list is framed as broad advice for countries worldwide facing the crisis, not UK-specific mandates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>UK government response: Downing Street and officials emphasized this is not official UK policy or advice\u2014it&#8217;s the IEA&#8217;s general guidance. Brits were told to &#8220;carry on as normal&#8221; rather than change habits based on this. The focus remains on existing measures like the energy price cap (though it&#8217;s set to lift in June 2026, potentially exposing more volatility).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On Rachel Reeves (UK Chancellor): The article (and Tory critics like Kemi Badenoch) claim she &#8220;can&#8217;t help&#8221; households facing higher bills because she&#8217;s &#8220;maxxed out Britain&#8217;s credit card&#8221; through high public borrowing and &#8220;runaway welfare spending.&#8221; This ties into recent record February public sector borrowing figures (outside Covid levels). Opposition accuses Labour of leaving little fiscal room for broad subsidies or bailouts like in past crises.However, other reports (e.g., Reuters, BBC, Independent, FT) show Reeves stating the government is preparing targeted support\u2014especially for vulnerable households reliant on heating oil (not covered by the standard price cap, where bills have reportedly doubled). She&#8217;s ruled out universal help as unaffordable but is modeling scenarios and prioritizing &#8220;energy security&#8221; via investments in domestic\/clean energy. No blanket &#8220;can&#8217;t help&#8221; admission from her; the phrasing appears to be opposition spin in right-leaning outlets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, this reflects heightened geopolitical tensions spiking global energy prices, prompting efficiency pleas from the IEA, while UK politics debates fiscal headroom for relief. The crisis stems from Middle East disruptions (Iran conflict, Hormuz risks), not domestic policy alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Daily Mail published March 20-21, 2026, an article and dramatizes global recommendations from the International Energy Agency (IEA) amid a real energy price spike tied to the Middle East conflict (US-Israel actions against Iran, Strait of Hormuz disruptions, and the largest oil supply shock in history). Oil prices have surged above $100\u2013118\/barrel, with knock-on effects on gas and bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">_____________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Brits told to WFH and use ovens less as Middle East energy crisis explodes\u2026 and Rachel Reeves &#8216;can&#8217;t help because she&#8217;s maxxed out Britain&#8217;s credit card&#8217;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brits are being urged to work from home and use their ovens less as the Middle East crisis deepens today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amid mounting concerns over global supply chains, the international energy watchdog has issued advice to cut down on car use and cook with air fryers to reduce demand for oil and gas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stark message comes as households start to feel the &#8216;Trumpflation&#8217; impact from the Iran war, with prices spiking.&nbsp;<strong><em>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-15664681\/Brits-told-WFH-use-ovens-Middle-East-energy-crisis-explodes-Rachel-Reeves-help-shes-maxxed-Britains-credit-card.html\">Daily Mail Online<\/a> has the story.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fears over a new wave of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/inflation\/index.html\">inflation<\/a>&nbsp;today sent the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/uk-government\/index.html\">UK Government<\/a>&#8216;s borrowing costs to the highest levels since 2008 &#8211; the peak of the credit crunch misery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That has raised more doubts over whether&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/rachel-reeves\/index.html\">Rachel Reeves<\/a>&nbsp;will be able to find the money to help families cope with the looming pain &#8211; as happened after Russia&#8217;s full-scale&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/russia-ukraine-conflict\/index.html\">invasion of Ukraine<\/a>&nbsp;in 2022.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/conservatives\/index.html\" class=\"\">Tories<\/a>&nbsp;have accused the Chancellor of &#8216;maxxing out the nation&#8217;s credit card&#8217; with &#8216;runaway welfare spending&#8217;, as figures showed February&#8217;s public sector borrowing was the highest on record outside of Covid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Downing Street stressed the IEA advice was not official in the UK, saying people should behave &#8216;normally&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PM&#8217;s official spokesman said: &#8216;This is the IEA&#8217;s general advice for countries across the world.
