Energy crisis outrage as MPs could choose to swerve horror price cap while millions suffer

Former Science Minister George Freeman expensed £1,565 for electricity and other fuel, while Sara Britcliffe, the Tory MP for Hyndburn, expensed a £1,600 electricity bill with EDF Energy.

Excluding water bills, taxpayer money funded £149,000 worth of MPs’ energy bills.

Meanwhile Ms Truss, who is well ahead of her opposite number Rishi Sunak in the polls to become the next Prime Minister, expensed £1,548 for gas and electricity over the last three years.

Despite this, the only concrete pledge she has made is a temporary moratorium on the green levy, which would only knock £160 off bills annually.

That now appears a drop in the ocean compared to the staggering October price cap, which forecasters have warned could even hit £5,000 by January.
