Boris Johnson has been widely mocked after saying that we could cut their energy bill by buying a new £20 kettle to save £10 a year on their electricity.

It comes as people with disabilities have told of their struggles over the cost-of-living crisis, with one woman unable to reduce her energy bills because her electric wheelchair is essential for her life. Speaking in Suffolk yesterday, Johnson said: “If you have an old kettle which takes ages to boil, it may cost you £20 to replace it – but if you get a new one, you’ll save £10 a year every year on your electricity bill.”

Boris Johnson under fire for 'bizarre kettle analogy' at time when people are struggling to pay bills.
