Metro – Liz: I will deliver
Metro leads with Liz Truss’s promise of a “bold plan” for energy. tax and the NHS.
The incoming Prime Minister could announce an energy bill freeze for homes and businesses that may last two years and cost up to £100 billion this week.
Liz Truss’ ministers reportedly held talks with energy bosses last night to work out the terms of the freeze, which could be unveiled as soon as Thursday.
It would likely see the Government subsidise the cost of gas being bought by suppliers and electricity generators.
This would result in the price cap remaining at £1,971 for the average household – amid terrifying warnings it could surge as high as £6,000 next year.
