How have people in the East Midlands reacted to Liz Truss's plans for energy bills?
New Prime Minister Liz Truss has announced she will limit energy bill rises for all households for two years, with a typical household energy bill being capped at £2,500 annually until 2024. Many had feared widespread hardship as a result of the rises. How have people in the East Midlands reacted?
She said the couple buy food from the reduced section of supermarkets and rely on family help to provide childcare."We're continuing to try to be as stingy as possible to try to have any kind of savings," she said."I think there are people who need more support."With the rising cost of living in general, some of the help is just falling into the background.
"While we are saving money on the electric bill, we are then going to have to use money elsewhere for my medical needs, for food. "But my parents' room and the rest of the house, we won't be able to afford any heating on. My parents are pensioners, so it's not great for them.
