Martin Lewis has shared a worrying prediction after Jeremy Hunt cut a two-year scheme to help people with energy bills short to just six months.
The new Chancellor dramatically scaled back support for household energy bills and ditched tax cuts promised by his predecessor Kwasi Kwarteng as he seeks to restore stability following weeks of turmoil in the financial markets. In an emergency statement, Mr Hunt said the energy price guarantee - which had been due to cap prices for two years - will end in April after which time the Government will look to target help on those most in need.
Mr Hunt said: "The biggest single expense in the growth plan was the energy price guarantee. This is a landmark policy supporting millions of people through a difficult winter ad today I want to confirm that the support we are providing between now and April next year will not change.
