Ed Miliband responds to Ofgem energy price cap announcement

Ed Miliband MP, Labour's Shadow Climate and Net Zero Secretary, responding to Ofgem's energy price cap announcement, said:

"In a few weeks' time, Rishi Sunak's Government plans to allow the energy price guarantee to rise to £3,000.

"All the while, the oil and gas giants rake in the windfalls of war and Rishi Sunak's Conservatives refuse to implement a proper windfall tax that would make them pay their fair share.

"Labour would use a proper windfall tax to stop prices going up in April.

"Rishi Sunak is too weak to stand up for the British people. Only Labour is on your side - with a mission to tackle the cost of living crisis now, and a long-term plan to cut bills for good by making Britain a clean energy superpower."
