Before the war in Iran I made clear: it is only fair that we have a windfall tax when energy companies make windfall profits, so we can help families with the cost of living. The Tories, Reform, SNP all oppose it. Only this Labour government stands up for working people.

@Keir_Starmer @Ed_Miliband But if you apply a windfall tax, you are indirectly increasing the cost to the consumer because the energy company isn’t going to shy away from profits, ever. They will pass on that cost to the consumer as they want a profit margin regardless.
