ENERGY giant BP continues to make “obscene” profits while households are “counting every penny,” campaigners said today.

The company revealed slightly lower than expected profits of $2.7 billion (£2.2bn) in the first quarter of this year, down from $4.9bn (£3.9bn) last year.

The forecast had been almost $2.9bn (£2.3bn) for the period.
