What we believe is that the Government needs to focus far more on reducing costs for people in energy and at the moment, nearly half of our electricity is generated by gas. That is simply not sustainable.
I think that there will be protests on the streets, and I think that people are really, really distressed to see what Trump is doing.
What we saw from Government in last year's budget, what we saw again this year, was floundering, failing to deliver for families in any real way.
