Demonstrators rally in London, Cardiff, Birmingham and other cities following major rise in cap on household bills
Thousands of people will take to the streets in the UK in protest against the sharp rise in energy prices, as a cabinet minister said the government could not “completely nullify” the increases.
Demonstrations are due to take place on Saturday, including one outside Downing Street in central London, and others in Cardiff and Birmingham. The protests follow a major increase in the energy price cap on Friday, with an average household gas and electricity bill rising to £1,971 a year. A further jump in October could take the cost up to £2,600.
