British Gas profits: "Beggars belief" that energy firms raking in huge profits while families struggle

31 Jul 2023

EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Responding to the news that British Gas reported profits of almost £1bn in the first half of 2023, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:

“It beggars belief that after all these months this Conservative government is still allowing energy firms to rake in extraordinary profits while millions of families struggle.

“People are fed up with excuses from the out of touch and failing government, who just do not seem to care.

“It’s time for a general election and a proper windfall tax to fund the support families desperately need.”
