What the petition asks
Reduce energy bills, make energy companies that recorded insane amounts of profits over the last few years to absorb the increase
Energy companies are making record profits year after year, receiving subsidies and assisted by the uk government costing the tax payer.
The tactic France have taken over this is a true commitment to its people, making sure energy cost do not increase for families and making these big energy companies make the up the difference. The government needs to stop squeezing every last penny from struggling families.
