Boris Johnson has been slated on social media after announcing Brits should purchase a new kettle which could save them £10 a year on their soaring energy bills.
The outgoing Prime Minister said in his final major policy address that those suffering from the cost of living crisis should spend £20 for a new kettle to help save in the long run.
He said that if you have an old kettle that takes forever to boil it may cost £20 to replace it, but if you get a new one you will save £10 a year every year on your electricity bill.
Twitter users have branded the advice as strange and jokingly called it the definitive solution to solve the cost of living crisis.
One Twitter account said that we have waited for Boris Johnson and the Government of which Liz Truss is a part of to inform us what we should do about the extraordinary living crisis that we’re facing and yet who knew the solution would be a new kettle.
Another said, so if they spend £20 on a new kettle, then they could save a huge £10 a year on their bills. What a brainiac idea, but wait! You have to have the £20 to spend on a new kettle in the first place.
Other Twitter users pointed out that a £10 saving was nothing against the current price hike, with energy regulator Ofgem announcing that the price cap would jump to £3,549 in October.
The advice was given in Boris Johnson’s last major policy speech in Suffolk, where he pledged £700 million to the Sizewell C power station to help Britain generate its own energy.
Boris Johnson warned it would be complete madness not to move ahead with the nuclear project as Russian President Vladimir Putin wreaks havoc with global oil and gas markets.
The Russian President has been accused of using gas reserves as a spear amid heightening tensions with the West.
It comes as Russian energy colossus Gazprom cut off its gas supplies to Germany via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline for maintenance work on Wednesday, further rising tensions in an already tight electricity market.
However, this is not bizarre at all. It’s just Boris Johnson’s lack of connection to reality, and it’s more proof that the entire Tory Party are economic illiterates that don’t understand what having no money is like, and how it feels to have to be reduced to charity for food and what living in Tory Britain is actually like while the party donors sit back and take more for themselves.
The United Kingdom is crumpling under the burden of Tory wealth protection. Our services are failing, criminality is increasing and all while the one per cent watch their finances skyrocket.
We have a broken energy market, and a broken housing market, while offshored billionaires tell the people who the lastest distractionary scapegoat is.
The Tories have dragged us back to the worst inflation figures in thirty years. The Tories have dragged us back to the worst personal taxation in seventy years. The Tories have dragged us back to the worst NHS in twenty years. The Tories have dragged us back to the worst level of national debt ever. So, if you want to vote Tory for economic mismanagement that drags you backwards, then you can, it’s your choice, but hopefully, now, everyone will understand that Boris Johnson is doing what he’s always done – openly laughing at us helpless peasants.
