A woman whose husband is unable to breathe in cold air has said she is worried they cannot heat their home following huge price hikes for heating oil due to the US war against Iran.
Gail Thompson, 66, and her husband Steve, 71, live in rural Kent, and paid £328 for their last delivery of 500 litres of heating oil in January. On Thursday, they were quoted £717 for the same delivery following huge spikes in costs following the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East.
