Liz Truss beats ex-chancellor Rishi Sunak to become the new Tory leader and new UK PM
Dan and Maiju say they can’t risk their daughter’s health to save on energy billsLiz Truss's biggest task will be dealing with the impact of rising energy costs on households and businesses.
One family has told BBC Panorama about how"electricity is the difference between life and death" for their nine-year-old disabled daughter, who needs constant electrical medical equipment. Dan McEvoy and Maiju Heikkinen, from Bournemouth, say their energy bills have already trebled in the past year. "We can afford to pay for the bills that keep Elisa alive, which about works if the bill stays like this. But not for long, especially if there’s going to be another price hike. We can’t shave off anything anymore," said Maiju."I feel awful as a father," says McEvoy."We can’t sleep at night."
