BOTH Liz Truss’s energy cap announcement and her splurge of tax cuts for the rich will see millions of us falling into poverty while leaving the energy corporations’ obscene profits not only untouched, but potentially set to rise even further.
As Richard Burgon MP said in response to the energy statement on September 8, “Six months ago households had an energy bill price cap of £1,300. We are today being told that fixing prices at £2,500 is the best the government can do to help people. It’s not. Private energy profits are being put before the needs of the people.”
