AN MP was outraged after a business in her constituency revealed the price of their energy bills of almost the same usage had increased by nearly £40,000 in the space of a year.
Naz Shah (Bradford West) demanded the government to take more action on the cost of living on Twitter.
Her tweet showed a huge 353.745 per cent growth in the cost of a local business' electricity when comparing bills from January 2021 to January 2022.
The business consumed 71,772.4 kWh of electricity in January 2021 and 73,286.9 kWh 12 months later.
In the former, the charge was £10,731.70 while in 2022 the price had shot up to a massive £48,694.56.
I was sent these energy bills by a business in my constituency for almost identical electricity usage in 2021 compared to 2022.
