“Unchecked bills will destroy budgets and force people to choose between food and heating”

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has unveiled plans calling for a freeze on energy bills that would help prevent Britain's ruthless abandonment in times of crisis

Keir Starmer calling for a freeze on energy bills is an important political moment.

The Labor leader proposing that the cost be kept at £1,971 for a typical household instead of skyrocketing to £3,582 in October and then to £4,266 early next year is a solution that deserves wider support and puts the conservatives on the spot.

Because Tory apologies, objections and Tories mean the ruling party is sacrificing families.

Ruthlessly abandoning people to inflated global costs by corporations profiting from Putin's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

We must be protected from scorching energy bills which, if left unchecked, would destroy family budgets and literally force people to choose between heating and eating.

The implications of a freeze – from subsidizing suppliers to introducing public ownership – need to be finalized.

But protecting people from ruinous climbs should be a matter of course.
