Polanski urges Reeves to freeze rents, as proposed in Spain, in
response to rising energy costs
Zack Polanski, the Green party leader, has dismissed Rachel Reevesβs
Commons statement about the governmentβs response to energy prices rises
as βunbelievably weakβ.
In a statement he said:
Ad This is an unbelievably weak response from the chancellor to the enormous
bill hikes facing households in the UK. Monitoring the situation? Considering
new powers? Reevesβs lukewarm words show that she and her government
simply do not understand the scale of the cost of living crisis about to hit this
country.
We need a guarantee that energy bills will not rise past June, funded by a
strengthened windfall tax and higher taxes on extreme wealth. And the
government should follow the example set by Spain in taking immediate action
to reduce the burden on households by freezing rents.
