Commenting on prime minister Liz Truss’ plan on energy bills, Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “It is quite frankly remarkable that the prime minster is asking workers to pay for massive energy company profits. The economy is broken and workers will see through this plan to boost profiteering yet again.

“I don't think the irony escapes many: The reason we are held to ransom now by an over reliance on non-domestic energy is that a Conservative government privatised our energy.”
