The UK General Election campaign sees the Tories and Labour pledging to help reduce energy bills for households as the industry regulator Ofgem prepares to announce a drop in the price cap. Both parties, led by Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer, aim to make energy costs a key electoral issue with plans to lower household bills. Labour proposes setting up 'Great British Energy', a publicly owned clean power company, to potentially reduce bills by Β£400, while the Tories focus on curbing green levies to bring down costs. The campaign intensifies as leaders clash over energy policies, positioning energy bills as a central theme of the election.
