plymouthherald.co.uk/news/cost-of-living/keir-starmer-says-plymouths-poorest-7467901
Quick Glance: Keir Starmer proposes an oil tax to prevent energy price caps from rising.
- By next April, energy bills are expected to skyrocket to roughly £420 per month - £5,040 per year.
- His plans to ensure households 'won't pay a penny more' include a freeze in energy bills for all domestic energy customers and further assistance for those who aren't covered by the price cap.
- 'Instead of allowing prices to rise and then attempting to rebate consumers, we're going to address the issue at its source and prevent price increases.'
- Boris Johnson met with energy industry officials last Thursday, just two days after consumer advocate Martin Lewis chastised him for overseeing a "zombie government."
