Energy bills could be frozen until 2024 under huge new plans from new PM Liz Truss
Liz Truss will today be handed the keys to Downing Street after winning the vote to become the next Conservative Party leader and in turn, the UK's third female Prime Minister..
From next month, energy bills are set to soar at the price cap rises again. Many households across the UK are fearing winter and what their bills will be.Following her victory over Tory leadership rival Rishi Sunak, the new PM will fly to Balmoral on Tuesday where she will be formally invited by the Queen to form a government.
A number of key allies and supporters have already been pencilled in for some of the most senior roles, including Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng who is widely expected to be given the crucial role of chancellor. If confirmed he will have the task of delivering on her promised “bold” plan to deal with surging energy bills which have plunged households and businesses into crisis.
Ms Truss did not enjoy the support of the majority of MPs during the parliamentary stage of the contest, with former chancellor Mr Sunak coming out on top among fellow Tories. And her 57% to 43% margin of victory in the final ballot of the party, while comfortable, was still narrower than the last three Tory leadership contests that went to a vote.
