Labour’s John McDonnell promises energy prices cap

Last Updated: February 4, 2017By

John McDonnell.

Labour has been promising to cap energy prices – and to consider renationalising profit-grubbing energy firms – since 2013.

The Tories always scaremonger about crashing the economy. They did it in response to John McDonnell’s comments today – while ignoring the fact that they have done more harm to the national economy in six and a half years than Labour ever did.

Labour has promised to place a cap on the prices charged by energy companies if it wins power.

Shadow chancellor John McDonnell made the commitment to the BBC a day after Npower said it was raising electricity prices by 15% from March.

    Well once we are free, from the cold slimy clutches of the eu, Labour will have no excuse not to renationalise the vital Utilities, currently they have eu regulations to fall back on.

      Labour would have renationalised whether we were in the EU or not. Stop pushing nonsense propaganda.

    Well its the first time that we have a Labour Party that is thinking of the country and its people, if they can only off load the Blairits it will go down as the greatest there as ever been

    The tories would never put a cap on the energy firms because they’re all shareholders in them, dating back from Thatcher’s time!
