GAS and electricity bills are going up and up. Further big rises are likely. The energy companies are making huge profits, while the rest of us are being hit hard. It’s not just the elderly who are scared of lighting their fires or having a hot bath. We’ve had enough and together we need to do something about it. So now we need to decide what we should do.

The Prime Minister is offering us warm words and saying he understands there’s a problem. But can you really think David and his rich friends and families are wrapping up well to keep warm to save costs? We don’t want their understanding or patronising — we want action. Something needs to change or it could be a very cold next winter too. Perhaps we all need to “calm down dear”.
