Sunak has been on the BBC and elsewhere saying that his calculations show that an extra £400 is needed to mitigate against the upcoming rise in energy prices. Targeting that on the most vulnerable will cost "a few billion"
I had a stab with my calculator and using pretty ropey figures came up with 44 billion to cover all the increase for lower income households.
Maybe the French have done it better but still a whole lot of billions!
