Plan to tackle cost of living crisis

Available for over a year

As the cost of living continues to rise, pressure is building on the government to help ease the burden on the public. Labour wants a windfall tax on the profits of energy firms and there's talk that the government could soon agree. But Sir Bernard Jenkin, the Conservative MP for Harwich and North Essex, has his own plan to help. His package of measures would cost £13.5 billion - but he says the government can borrow the money as it did through Covid.
