The Police Association says a new pay offer doesn't meet struggling officers' needs.

The union says they'd effectively get a 0.6 percent bump, with nothing for managers.

Police Association President Steve Watt says the impacted officers have found this offer 'tough' to accept, given the demands of the job. 

"We've asked for five percent, we understand that CPI is still to come out, but we understand that the CPI figure is going to be around that four to five percent. And the reality is, for our members, anything under CPI is essentially a pay cut."

UK correspondent Gavin Grey says Starmer is set to give a speech addressing the situation, but there's growing calls to replace him as party leader.

The Green Party's written to Government ministers asking them to use their majority owner status to pressure major gentailers to reduce power prices.

Co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick says shareholding ministers, Simeon Brown and Nicola Willis, can write to the gentailers and require them to do more on energy hardship programmes. 

She suggests they could also call for retail prices not to surpass inflation.

Energy economist Geoff Bertram says it's time action was taken to bring down the impact of the major gentailers.
