Fuel poverty: Can Tories hang onto seats as energy bills fall?

I'm in the doldrums with my gas and electricity company and I need advice basically because I don't know where to go like another two million Rachel, an NHS receptionist, is in debt to her

energy

supplier, they've tried to increase our direct debit to a stupid level . It amounts to between 5 and 600 a month, between 5 and 600 a month, yes, and we basically told them that we couldn't feed our children. You did it, even with two little kids in the house, they just didn't care and yeah, I might get angry thinking about that, um, yeah, it's them, they just don't mind.

Team Med, the advice center for this food bank in Stoke on Trent, has seen its need double over the past year driven mainly by those who can no longer keep up to date with their

bills

or top up their prepaid meter, so We were able to refer the lady who had 50p left to an organization we work with at the food bank and she was so grateful she cried, this is the 21st century, let's go back to how my mum and dad grew up. Today, the

energy

price cap has dropped by 7% per unit, meaning the average bill will be £1,568, the lowest since the war in Ukraine began, but still £400 more that 3 years ago.

It is this drop in the cost of energy that has driven that drop. On inflation, the Prime Minister had been waiting so long to call this election, but people's

bills

are still expensive and energy debt is at record levels. Instead of feeling financially stable, many people simply feel fed up. Trent North is one of the employment centers. snatched away by the Tories in 2019 his voters like others on the red wall grateful for Boris Johnson for giving his support the dissatisfaction around here most people won't even vote normally it's Labor it's normally Labor what do you think next time? be Labor be lab two seconds so you're not going to vote this time I don't think that's going to get Al anything just continue as he is the prime minister launched an election because he said there was economic stability what do you think?

I think definitely not. I have to stop doing anything for myself just so I can afford to make sure they have clothes. They have food. They have everything they need. So I'm literally pinching pennies. I'm literally counting backwards. to pounds for every payday job will concentrate considerable firepower here during the campaign, although it is not just the Conservatives who are struggling in areas like these, but distrust and disillusionment. I voted Conservative last time, but I wish I couldn't say I would. I will not vote for anyone this year. I just lost all faith. Promises keep being made and never kept and I just have no faith in them.

I don't have faith in them. Lower bill leveling promises. The c

hang

e is slim, one that each side will fight for on the Fourth of July.
