The Tories failed to properly regulate our energy market, leading to dozens of energy companies going bust, with all of us footing the bill ☹️

This is completely absurd. Labour can’t do this - too late - and here in

West and

they maxed out the increase this year. That’s no surprise! They’ve taxed to the max every year and increased the burden on residents by 40%+ since 2016/17.
#VoteConservative
The Tories have their head in the sand on the cost of living crisis.
Today in parliament, we're urging them to wake up to it - and to bring in a council tax freeze this year, funded by a proper windfall tax on oil and gas giants.
Labour will always stand with working people.
