Boris Johnson says a new £20 kettle will cut annual electric bills by £10
In one of his last major speeches the outgoing PM said: “Families up and down this country are going to face a very tough winter . . . there is going to be a further package that is going to be announced.
“Clearly we have the fiscal firepower to sort it out.”
In the short term, Boris said struggling households could ease their financial pain by buying more efficient goods.
