Ed Miliband responds to the energy price cap announcement

Ed Miliband MP, Labour's Shadow Energy Secretary, responding to the energy price cap announcement, said:

“Only Rishi Sunak's Conservatives could look at energy bills still being hundreds of pounds a year higher for families and call it good news.

“This government is totally out of touch with the cost of living crisis families face. The British people know that they are paying the price for 14 years of failed Conservative energy policy.

“If the Tories get back in, Britain will remain vulnerable to dictators like Putin, and family finances will continue to be rocked by sky-high energy bills.

“A Labour government will cut bills by setting up Great British Energy, a new publicly-owned company to invest in homegrown clean energy so we can boost energy independence and cut bills for good.

“It's time to stop the chaos, turn the page and start to rebuild.”
