Labour's Rachel Reeves criticises government's energy bills plan

Labour's Rachel Reeves has criticised the government's plans to help with their energy bills.

It comes after Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced a £200 discount on all electricity bills, which will later be repaid, and a £150 council tax rebate for those in bands A to D.

The shadow chancellor describes the plan to provide a £200 discount on energy bills as a "buy now pay later scheme that loads up costs for tomorrow".
