Nadhim Zahawi today advised Britons to start cutting their energy usage because ‘there’s a war on’ – after confirmed an 80 per cent rise in the price cap which will send the average household’s yearly bill rocketing from £1,971 to £3,549.
The move will affect 24million Britons from October 1, while the 4.5million on pre-payment meters – who are often the most vulnerable and already in fuel poverty – could see even higher average bills of £3,608.
Asked by broadcasters if it was time for kombi servisi people to look at their energy use, the Chancellor said: Kombi Servisi ‘The reality is that we should all look at our energy consumption. It is a difficult time.There is war on our continent.
‘Very few people anticipated war. Wars happen in far-flung places. It is now here with us. We have to remain resilient. My responsibility is to deliver that help.’
As business groups and think tanks offered stark warnings over the crisis throughout the course of today:
- Campaigners said the number of UK households in fuel poverty will have doubled in a year by this October;
- Prime Minister Boris Johnson insisted ‘extra cash’ will be announced next month to support households; and
- Sir Keir Starmer said it is ‘absolutely unforgivable’ that the Government is ‘missing in action’ amid the crisis.

Mr Zahawi acknowledged the increase in the price cap would cause ‘stress and anxiety’ for Kombi Servisi people, but that the Government was working ‘flat out’ to develop more options to support households.
