Former Tory leader says shortages are inevitable and calls for elite ministerial team to tackle crisis
The former Conservative leader William Hague has said Britons will suffer shortages due to the gas crisis, warning it could be a “more than tricky” winter for many families.
The business secretary, Kwasi Kwarteng, also admitted it could “could be a very difficult winter” with families facing rising energy bills, as he sought to distance himself from the added burden of the cut to universal credit.
