JD Vance has criticised the UK government and claimed “middle-class Brits” can’t afford to get to work because of soaring energy costs – while failing to acknowledge the price hikes have been driven by Donald Trump’s war in Iran.
In what he called a “scandal”, the US vice president claimed Britons “can’t afford to heat their homes, can’t afford to transport themselves to work” because the government “has made energy so expensive”.
