‘Shameful’: SNP blast Tory response to rising energy bills

The Tories have been told they are not doing enough to combat the cost of living crisis

THE Tory leadership contenders have been accused by the SNP of a “shameful” failure to set out plans on how to help households with rising energy bills.

The criticism comes after warnings annual average costs could hit £3850 after Russia further squeezed Europe’s gas supplies, with the average bill potentially soaring to around £500 by January.
