FAMILIES in Britain are in the middle of a cost of living crisis.

They are working harder for longer, for less, year after year - but David Cameron will only stand up for a privileged few, not for hard working families.

This Tory-led government introduced a tax cut for people on over £150,000, whilst raising it for everyone else.

At the same time as thousands of families are struggling to cope with soaring energy bills it seems our local Central Devon Tory MP made the seventh highest energy expenses claim of £3,223.64.

Under the Tories, energy bills have risen by almost £300 for families.

If Labour wins the next election, Ed Miliband will freeze gas and electricity bills until 2017 - and reset our energy market with a tough new regulator to stop overcharging.

This energy bill freeze will save a typical household £120 - help at a time when people need it most.
