A pressure group has said it is to sue energy regulator Ofgem over its 80% price-cap rise which its director said would "devastate families". The Good Law Project, which said it was taking the action against the regulator with Fuel Poverty Action and the Highlands & Islands Housing Associations Affordable Warmth Group, said it was the first legal action of its kind.

"This is a choice. And the choice they’ve made is to let low income consumers and small businesses bear the brunt of this crisis.
