Brexiter Kate Hoey’s response to energy crisis has left people furious

"What an abhorrent tweet," said one person in response to Hoey.

Households need to look at how they are using energy, the Chancellor suggested amid calls for urgent Government intervention to tackle soaring bills.

It comes as outgoing prime minister Boris Johnson predicted a “tough” few months ahead – but promised energy prices will eventually come down amid grim predictions about the impact the 80.06% rise in the price cap will have on millions of the poorest households across the UK.

Nadhim Zahawi, who is likely to be out of a job in the coming days if Liz Truss wins the keys to No 10, stressed on Friday that the Government is not paralysed by the Tory leadership contest and is focused on preparing options for whichever candidate emerges as the winner.

The Chancellor told broadcasters help from the Government is coming, but admitted: “We know that’s not enough. We’ve got to do more.

Hoey

Here was Brexiter Kate Hoey’s response to help people through the energy crisis.

Sky’s Sam Coates tweeted: “Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi on energy consumption: “The reality is that we should all look at our energy consumption. It is a difficult time.” First time a senior minister has suggested this?”

Hoey replied: “Of course we should. Those of us brought up before central heating wore extra jumpers when winter came.”

I for one agree with Kate Hoey.

Older, vulnerable, disabled, poor people in the 5th richest country in the world should not expect a warm home, dignity or respect.

Can’t they be thankful that they are not in workhouses?

Central heating? Woke nonsense. pic.twitter.com/Ek0jxNMNY0

Shame you didn’t think of the revolutionary ‘extra jumpers’ gambit when you were busy claiming £1.4m in expenses from the taxpayers purse ey Kate, or is it only your own money you’re apparently so prudent with?

I’ll never understand how Kate Hoey joined the Labour Party. Did she join the wrong queue or something? https://t.co/iX0k9jtUbj

Let me explain how jumpers work. They don’t generate heat – they help keep heat in. So, if you’re broke and can’t afford to eat properly to fuel your body, they would be as much use as a gumshield on Shane McGowan. You’ll still freeze to death, but at least you’ll be all fluffy.

What an abhorrent tweet from a truly appalling woman. At 76 I know damn well what it was like. An extra jumper in a house without heat or light will not stop hypothermia. People died then and more will die now but Kate Hoey doesn’t give a damn.

I grew up without central heating. We just had a coal stove, a gas fire and a few electric bar heaters. What the heartless idiot Kate Hoey fails to register is that all three of those heating possibilities now cost far, far more. Extra jumpers alone won't cut it on the Penines. pic.twitter.com/RMmeqMH0p7

hahahahaha of course Kate Hoey has done the first big “if you’re not prepared to freeze to death then you’re woke” https://t.co/bGqw6ZKgVB

Dear Kate Hoey

How did the extra jumper help with the chilblains? Remember them?

Bloody awful.

Progress put chilblains on the “thankfully we’ve moved on” list.

See also polio, dirty beaches etc. https://t.co/MS7sdXLota

Or maybe go to Nadhim or Rishi’s house to keep warm?

If the poor get very cold this winter, @nadhimzahawi, might you permit them entry to your stables?
