Emma has welcomed the announcement by Ed Miliband that One Nation Labour is planning to freeze energy bills until the start of 2017. Under David Cameron gas and electricity bills have gone up £300 for the average household.Emma said: “Under David Cameron, Britain’s families are facing a cost of living crisis. Prices have risen faster than wages in 38 of the 39 months that David Cameron has been in Downing Street and energy bills have gone up by almost £300. David Cameron’s failure to tackle rip-off bills has meant that many people are struggling to pay their bills.

“I know how people in Wolverhampton are struggling with the rising cost of living. Many of my constituents have written to me worried about their energy bills, and having to make a choice between heating their homes or buying food.”
