Martin Lewis shares how households can get extra £150 a month to help with rising energy bills

Martin Lewis has explained how some households can get an extra £150 a month to help with rising energy bills.

The Money Saving Expert founder explained more about the Warm Home Discount scheme after the government announced today (25 February) it is extending to a further 2.7million people.

Appearing on Good Morning Britain, the financial guru said: “It is a £150 payment to households on low income.”

He added: “Currently you automatically get the warm home discount if you are on the guaranteed element of Pension Credit. You also can get it if you are on a low income or means tested benefits, such as Universal Credit.”

Microsoft data center leases slowing, analysts say, raising investor attention
(Reuters) -An analyst note flagging a possible slowdown by Microsoft in leasing data center capacity grabbed the market's attention on Monday, lending credence to skepticism among investors worried that the AI-led stock-market boom might be running out of steam. TD Cowen analysts in a note Friday said the tech giant had scrapped leases for sizeable data center capacity in the United States, suggesting potential oversupply as it builds out artificial intelligence infrastructure. The brokerage, citing its supply chain checks, said Microsoft has canceled leases totaling "a couple of hundred megawatts" of capacity with at least two private data-center operators, the analysts led by Michael Elias said.
