PM fuels woe

HOUSEHOLDS are facing a grim few months of rising fuel and food bills, tax hikes and soaring inflation.

For many families the strain will mean a choice between heating or eating. The Government should be doing everything it can to support people through this challenging time.

But when questioned on the cost-of-living crisis yesterday a floundering Boris Johnson failed to come up with any additional help.

The Prime Minister’s refusal to cut VAT on fuel bills shows how little he understands the financial pressures facing so many people.

He is so out of touch he claimed the Warm Home Discount was worth £140 a week when that is the annual amount of support on offer.

At a time when people need help, Mr Johnson is both aloof and arrogant.
