GRAHAM Jones, MP for Haslingden, has said people are ‘sick and tired of being left out of pocket because of David Cameron’s failure to stand up to the energy companies’.

It follows four of the ‘big six’ energy companies raising their prices in recent weeks, adding as much as £130 to the average bill.

The Labour MP said: “This week, former Tory Prime Minister John Major became the latest voice to recognise what we all know.

“That is, people are sick and tired of being left out of pocket because of David Cameron’s failure to stand up to the energy companies.

“Energy bills are already up by an average £300 since David Cameron took office.

“Britain’s energy market isn’t working for ordinary families and businesses.

“Labour’s energy freeze will save money for 27 million households and 2.4 million businesses.

'And our plans to reset the market will deliver fairer prices in the future.

“David Cameron needs to get a grip on the cost of living crisis most of us face. Energy prices are sending household bills sky high and however hard people work, they just can’t keep up.

“He satands up for a privileged few.”
