People will be “on the streets” and the UK will face face civil unrest this winter unless households are given more help to pay skyrocketing energy bills, a Conservative MP has predicted.
Rishi Sunak supporter Kevin Hollinrake MP said that, without extra support, there would be demonstrations over Liz Truss’s tax cut plan that would provide only an extra “pound a week” to the poorest households, while at the same time giving about £30 a week to the well off.
Hollinrake added: “These people are going to be on the streets. Things are going to be that bad for some households.”
