Rishi Sunak headlined a £1,000-a-head bash for Tory donors - the day before telling struggling families it would be "silly" to give them more help with energy bills right now.
The Chancellor brushed off desperate pleas for further cash to cope with with April’s £693-a-year rise.
During an interview with Mumsnet on Wednesday, he said: “It would be silly to do that now or last month or the month before, when we don’t know exactly what the situation in the autumn is going to be.”
