Taking the cap of energy companies so they can raise there prices will only send deprived areas and families into poverty, people are already struggling after the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. People have lost businesses and homes. The price of living is already high enough

Don't let big energy companies take advantage and be greedy enough to send people into poverty by raising prices. As a government use have a duty of care but being greedy and sending people into poverty, becoming homeless people are barely getting by as it is and raising prices of energy bills by over 50% is an evil act of power
