Brexit hypocrites

IT is a very worrying time for all households facing probably the steepest price rises in gas prices in their lifetimes and the UK Government must look at some sort of assistance.

However, it is beyond parody that the opposition parties clamour for a cut in VAT on energy bills while seemingly blaming Prime Minister Boris Johnson for world gas prices.

These parties were full-on EU Remainers. Are they simply ignoring the fact that had they won the EU referendum they would be in no position to cut VAT on energy as this would have broken EU rules? Their staggering hypocrisy knows no bounds and their lack of any viable solution says it all.
