Energy crisis is a ‘Dunkirk moment’

THE escalating energy crisis is a “Dunkirk moment” that requires radical action, two high-profile former ministers have warned.

Ex-Labour MP Frank Field and former pensions minister Ros Altmann condemned the failure of privatisation in a joint statement, as they urged the next prime minister to control price rises in order to get a handle on soaring energy bills. Ms Truss has indicated she could provide extra help for vulnerable households.
