Rishi Sunak has told households to “be careful” about their energy use to help reduce bills, as he vowed fairness would be at the heart of Thursday’s autumn statement while urging restraint on bankers’ bonuses and pledging to end nurses’ use of food banks.
In comments that appear to contrast with his predecessor, Liz Truss, who ardently resisted telling individuals to turn down their heating, the prime minister said using less energy would have the “extra byproduct of increasing our energy security”.
