Liz Truss to make energy bills announcement this week - but says poor aren't facing 'Armageddon'

Liz Truss has pledged to make an announcement on energy bills this week if she is named Tory leader.

But she repeatedly refused to say what it will be - and brushed off fears the poorest are facing "Armageddon".

That means millions of Brits facing a plunge into fuel poverty will be holding their breath for days, despite the frontrunner pledging “immediate action on energy bills and energy supply.”
