Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis has questioned potential conservative leaders - one of whom will be the next Prime Minister - on what they plan on doing to curb rising energy bills. Experts are suggesting the price caps could go up by as much as 64% in October, taking household bills to over £3,000 a year.
With millions across the country struggling amid the cost of living crisis and already rising bills, the increase expected in October is set to add even more pressure. And with a huge shake-up expected in the government in the autumn, eyes are now turning to prospective candidates to see what plan to do about it.
There are currently 11 Tory MPs who have put their names forward for the top job from well know faces such as Rishi Sunak to outsiders like Kemi Badenoch. Each candidate has now started their leadership campaigns, highlighting what they intend to bring to the role.
