Keir Starmer on plans to freeze energy cap
Labour to address cost of living crisis with a freeze in fuel bills, windfall tax
Sir Keir Starmer has said families would "not pay a penny more" on their energy bills this winter under Labour's plans to tackle rising living costs.
The Labour leader claimed his proposals would save the average household 拢1,000 a year.
The package would be paid for, in part, by a big increase in tax on oil and gas company profits.
But critics said the plan would cost as much as the Covid furlough scheme and was not a long-term solution.
