Nicola Sturgeon has urged the UK Government "to wake up" to the scale of the cost of living crisis.
The First Minister spoke out on the day the price cap was lifted on domestic energy bills - meaning the cost of electricity and gas will increase by a record average of 54 per cent, leaving Scots left to foot a massive rise.
The energy market is regulated by the UK Government which has so far ignored calls to reduce or remove VAT on household bills.
