With millions of households facing financial despair due to soaring energy costs, demand is growing on the dithering Tories to freeze bills.
A Daily Mirror poll revealed more than eight out of 10 people back immediate action to prevent families on the brink plunging further into the mire.
Some 82% of those quizzed, including Tories, want the Government to keep the energy price cap at its current £1,971 average a year rather than allow October’s planned rise to £3,549.
