Reports that some pensioners are riding buses to keep warm and limiting themselves to one meal a day as energy prices soar are 'utterly shameful', a shadow minister has said
Interviewed on ITV's Good Morning Britain programme, the PM was told of one 77-year-old pensioner called Elsie who has seen her energy bill soar so high that she has cut down to eating just one meal a day and spends the day travelling on the bus with her free pass to keep warm.
"Elsie was describing the human impact of the cost-of-living crisis on her and how she has to ride on the buses just to keep warm, and for the prime minister to say you should be grateful to have a pass, how out of touch can you be, how out of ideas can you be, how out of excuses can you be," he told broadcasters.
"For Boris Johnson to respond by boasting about the London bus pass reveals just how out of touch this narcissistic prime minister is.
