What the petition asks
End fuel poverty now for Britain.
In the wake of British Gas making record profits of £3.3 BILLION , £948 million higher than 2021, millions of British people are in real fuel poverty, having to decide whether to EAT or HEAT.
In 2023 this is OUTRAGEOUS. More people than ever simply cannot afford to heat their homes.
The Government must act now!
MAKE companies reduce their extortionate prices or NATIONALISE them and reduce the prices to pre 2021 levels.
