As if things were not bad enough, the Mirror reports that Lib Dem research has revealed that families face paying an extra £160 a year in Tory levies on water and energy.
The paper says that over the next five years people will have to stump up £40 a year to pay back Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s £200 loan to combat 2022’s soaring gas an electric bills. But in 2025 a sewage levy will kick in adding another £60 and £48 extra to pay for Boris Johnson’s eight new nuclear power stations.
The nuclear levy will steadily rise to £96 a year by the end of the decade. And the peak cost of £160 will hit in the last year of the energy loan payback in 2027 with £60 on water bills and £60 for nuclear.
So, far from helping people through this crisis, the government is just piling on the misery.

I will also not tolerate personation so please do not add comments in the name of real people unless you are that person. If you do not like these rules then start your own blog.
Oh, and if you persist in repeating yourself despite the fact I have addressed your point I may get bored and reject your comment.
