Video: Ed Miliband’s plans to freeze energy prices

Labour have released an audio trailer which reveals the big announcement of Ed Miliband’s conference speech — energy prices will be frozen to 2017 under Labour plans:

‘How do you feel when you see your energy bill sitting at the front door? And you know its going to be even higher than the last one? And how do you feel when you read in the newspaper that your energy providers profits are up? Yet again.

‘Millions of ordinary families are struggling to keep up with bills. Bills that are rising faster than wages. Since David Cameron became Prime Minister, he’s allowed gas and electricity bills to rise by an average of £300 a year. And sat by as energy companies make record profits. Under this government a privileged few come before hard working families. Ed Miliband and Labour are going to change that.

‘Ed Miliband’s energy plan will mean a tough new regulator with the power to challenge the companies and keep prices plan.
