For the past year, Theresa May has been very vocal about rising energy bills, which she blames on the wicked energy companies.
She could not have been more explicit in an comment piece she wrote for the Sun in May:
Like millions of working families, I am fed up with rip-off energy prices.
Gas and electricity bills only ever seem to go in one direction, eating up more and more of your monthly pay packet.
Which is all very strange, because earlier this month she was comprehensively rebutted by her own Energy Minister, Claire Perry, who told delegates at the Tory Conference:
It’s something that we don’t seem to talk about. But for household consumers energy bills have actually gone down, mostly because we are more energy efficient and use more efficient appliances.
The Telegraph report added:
But official figures show that the average price of a dual fuel energy bill paid via direct debit has nonetheless fallen from over £1,000 a year in late 2013 to less around £865 a year today.
Maybe Mrs May and her minister might like to put their heads together and get their story right!
