A HUGE majority of the public wants the government to provide more support to vulnerable households with their energy bills, new research has found.

Polling for the Warm This Winter campaign found that, following Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s removal of the Winter Fuel Payment from most pensioners, 67 per cent of the public now want to see ministers take action to boost other energy bill help.

And 75 per cent back the government bringing in a social tariff to provide a discount on energy bills to those in greatest need of help — up from 57 per cent before the general election.
