Consumer champion Martin Lewis has condemned the Government for acting like “zombies” over the energy crisis. He told ITV’s Good Morning Britain the country is facing a “national crisis on the scale of the pandemic”.
“For every £100 direct debit you currently pay, in October you will be paying £181, and in January you will be paying £215, and that’s on top of the rises we had in April,” he said.
“That is a cataclysmic rise for households; millions of households will simply not be able to afford it. When we get to January, a typical bill will be £4,266 a year, many pensioner households pay more than that because they have the heating on more for understandable reasons.
