Energy prices: Government 'sided with oil and gas companies' - Ed Miliband

Labour's Ed Miliband has criticised the government's action on rising energy prices, accusing them of siding with oil and gas companies over families.

It comes as oil giant Shell announced a huge increase in profits, about four times the level recorded the previous year.

Average household energy bills are set to increase by £693, with the chancellor offering £350 of help to most households.
