Rishi Sunak accused of being ‘out of touch’ over energy bill support comments – UK politics live

The Lib Dems criticise the PM after he suggested some people did not realise the government was still providing bill support

John McTernan writes for the Guardian today, calling for Labour to stop being so cautious and make the election a referendum on net zero:

Or nearly everything. Labour currently lacks one vital quality: confidence. While heading for a victory bigger than Tony Blair's landslide of 1997, the party appears to be too frightened to fight. Whenever the Tories do something profoundly amoral or un-British - such as telling refugees to fuck off", as their vice-chair, Lee Anderson, recently did - Labour seems scared of going on the attack.
