Labour responds to reports that the Government are at odds over the windfall tax

Ed Miliband MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State of Climate Change and Net Zero, commenting on reports that the Government are at odds over the windfall tax, said:

“It’s another day of chaos, confusion and inaction in government on the cost of living crisis. 

“A paralysed government, an out of touch chancellor, a tin-eared prime minister and a country deeply suffering from their failure. 

“Every day they delay is another day when they let down the British people. They must act now with a windfall tax on the oil and gas producers to provide real help to families facing rocketing energy bills.”
