I’m not going to turn up my nose at 5 per cent off my electricity bill from October, announced by Andy Burnham today.
Households are going to need all the help they can get because bills look set to surge as the Iran war threatens to escalate again.
They’re forecast to be higher this winter than last – even with the Prime Minister’s giveaway.
Well-off households with large homes, those who like to keep their heating ramped up or who have swimming pools to heat will no doubt be especially grateful to Burnham as they’ll enjoy the biggest savings.
But far from giving families ‘breathing room’, as Burnham hopes to achieve with the bill cut, for most it will barely touch the sides.
