Liberal Party NEC Statement – The National Response to the UK Energy Crisis
#1
The Liberal Party notes with grave concern the continued failure of the government and main opposition party to acknowledge the deepening energy and standards of living crisis in this country.

After a ten-year period of austerity, the Covid pandemic and now rising inflation many working families simply do not have the disposable income to meet the perfect storm of raising energy and food prices which politicians seem in deniable over.

We believe that the most sensible and effective solutions for the government is to provide tax breaks, grants, or direct assistance via the benefits and pension systems to the value of the expected energy price increase, which is in the region of £700.

Without such a financial backstop this country risks a multiple of social issues including poverty, debt, homelessness, and health disorders which could be avoided with prompt assistance to hard pressed families.
