Miatta Fahnbulleh: “My priority was to ensure that "the workers and local community are protected during this sale process".”

I completely understand why people are worried and frustrated about energy bills and we are doing everything we can to make them more affordable.

I know in Peckham that our warm home discount will assist nearly a third of households. It’s a start, but I also know that households struggling need more help.

I am in close contact with BP, and my priority was to ensure that "the workers and local community are protected during this sale process".

As a start, we removed VAT from electricity bills to give everyone some breathing space.
