Liz Truss ‘blocked’ energy-saving campaign despite winter blackout fears
The Metro says The Prime Minister has ruled out a £15 million energy-saving campaign, because it was seen as a ‘light touch’.
Liz Truss made the decision despite warnings planned blackouts could hit the UK if power plants cannot get enough gas to keep running.
Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg is believed to have backed a dedicated winter campaign to prepare for all eventualities, with the Times reporting the idea was blocked by No 10.
