A former Tory MP in line for a peerage from Boris Johnson has been accused of “trivialising” the energy crisis by describing himself as a “hot-blooded male” and saying that the “females in my house like to have the heating on”.
In a segment on the unprecedented energy costs facing households this winter on the BBC’s Sunday Politics North West, Graham Evans followed his remarks on “females” by advising viewers to “try and keep the heating down as much as humanly possible”.
