Next week, the true cost of Rachel Reeves will really hit home with a vicious cocktail of bill increases and price rises.
It’s no surprise all these hikes are coming on April 1. Labour are taking the British public for fools. Some of these bills will show the extent to which Labour lied to get your vote last year.
Having promised to cut energy bills by £300 in July, this Tuesday your energy bill will rise by an average of £111.
At the same time, millions of pensioners have had their winter fuel payments snatched away, and the jobs tax is hitting every sector of the economy – pushing up prices and bills.
Ed Miliband pledged his ‘GB Energy’ quango would bring down our bills. Instead, his ideological pursuit of Net Zero by 2050 is loading more and more costs on to families.
He has brought Extinction Rebellion supporters into the heart of government – no wonder Just Stop Oil activists are saying their job is done.
