three energy company bosses cold on governments to help this winter. ustomers are being asked to pay the price of gas which is being weaponised by putin, and they should be expected to do that alone. the uk s energy bills are going for maybe 15 billion in a normal year to £75 billion this year. that is the equivalent of 9p or more on the basic rate of income tax. no government would announce that, and no government should let this go to customers. labour say they have a policy. our plan to freeze prices means inflation comes down by 4%, that is a big driver of many of these issues. so we want to resolve these issues. the government is sitting on its hands doing absolutely nothing. the big decisions on how to give more help this winter are being left to the new prime minister, who won t be announced until the 5th of september. liz truss has said that she would help the cost of living by cutting taxes and introducing a temporary moratorium on energy levies.
definitively answer. thanks for “oininu definitively answer. thanks for joining us- criminal barristers in england and wales have voted in favour of an all out, indefinite strike from next month, in a dispute with the government overjobs, pay and legal aid funding. the criminal bar association said almost 80% of its members had backed ramping up their campaign of industrial action, which has been under way sincejune. our legal correspondent, dominic casciani, can tell us more. there s a lot of talk about a return to the 19705 but even in those dark days of industrial strife we never saw the black capes of barristers alongside the black donkeyjackets of other striking workers. so today s vote is genuinely unprecedented. so far this year, barristers have refused to turn up to work at crown courts on 19 separate days. today s vote on a massive turn out means they re completely out from the 5th of september. rosalind burgin qualified as a barrister three years ago having previous

than 2200 criminal barristers who have voted and of those 80% voted for a complete walk out beginning on the 5th of september. to clarify, that means defence barristers who are paid by the legal aid system to represent people who are on trial who otherwise can t pay for their defence. it does not affect prosecutors in that instance but a trial cannot go ahead with just a prosecution barrister and not a defence barristers of the case effectively grinds to a halt. with an 80% vote in favour of the walk out in september crystallises the huge anger among the criminal barrister profession. this has been building for years. we have had a couple of periods of industrial action since 2012 onwards over the rates of legal aid pay and it has been building and building to this position we have now got where they feel they have no choice but to
