Local authority with highest fuel poverty rate in England is angry at economist’s comment Britons ‘need to accept’ being worse off
Karen Trainer, the manager of the Big Venture community centre and shop in Wolverhampton, could barely contain her anger as she watched the news on Wednesday morning.
She was hearing about the comments of the Bank of England economist Huw Pill, who said Britons should stop seeking pay increases and “accept” they are worse off in order to prevent prices rising further.
