Shall we start collecting wood for the fire?

EDF Energy has announced it is putting up gas prices by 22% and electricity prices by 17% for domestic customers. Enough is enough. The government MUST start to tackle the energy companies who are raising energy prices ridiculously high. I see no change in their profits, which seem to be increasing but the poor and working people are being hit and hit again by greedy companies who are not being regulated properly by our Labour government.

The government should apply a windfall tax on those energy companies that increase prices without taking a substantial hit on their profits. We are being used as a cash cow; this has to end now.
