Why isn’t he addressing parliament as he should do?

Like you said it has been announced that Mr.Sunak is addressing parliament this morning.

Maybe you should ask GNHQ to amend your OP?

No I don’t mind. We aren’t always right are we?

I'll wait to see what Sunak announces, but I'm not holding my breath. I expect short-term fixes to long term problems, which should have been addressed years ago.

The government has been in power for over a decade. The result of their policies is low growth and high tax according to the CBI. This will place downward pressure on spending and further slow the economy.

It has also overlooked the worse decade for improved living standards in centuries!

Sunak announcement addressing Parliament at 11.30 - so he should.

Another suggestion is council tax rebates for those in band A-C.

A silly way to target.

So the loans to energy companies will in theory take £200 frame everyone’s bill.

Those on prepayment meters - the least well off - will increase the most by 54%.

The government has already reduced the poorest income by taking away the £20 U/c, as well as the NI rise in April. Inflation went up by 5.4%.

The money the government is pouring into the massive energy suppliers, it is ridiculous.

That vast quantity should be put into home heating payments and other channels for the very poorest.

Mr. Sunak is also appearing on the Martin Lewis Money Show at 8.30pm to answer questions.

The energy price cap is to rise by 54% on 1st April.

Do you have evidence that he is not addressing parliament today?

I think he should be holding a press conference to inform the general public about the new energy price cap and the safety net payments of up to £200 as not all folks are glued to the news channels or parliament today.
