Lib Dems call for action on crippling bills

- EXCLUSIVE BY MIKEY SMITH Whitehall Correspond­ent

BORIS Johnson is being urged to hold a ‘Cost of Living summit’ with the main utility companies in a bid to stop bills rising.

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey says the PM must stop trying to save his own skin – and help struggling families instead.

He said: “It’s shameful. He held law-breaking parties in Downing Street, but won’t haul in energy firm bosses.”

Mr Davey says billpayers should also attend the summit to spell out the difficulti­es they face.

Energy bills are set to go up 50% in April – an estimated £600 per household.

A No10 spokesman said: “The Prime Minister has been clear that our priority is to protect consumers from facing higher bills.”
