Picture: Alamy/LBCGovernment minister Kit Malthouse has revealed he is finding the cost of living crisis "tricky" as the price of fuel, energy and oil sky rocket in the UK.Speaking to Nick Ferrari at Breakfast, the policing minister revealed his household had begun to make cut backs as they grapple with the soaring cost of oil central heating, including turning off the heating in his home from today and instead burning a log fire to keep warm.
When grilled by Nick on whether or not Chancellor Rishi Sunak should "open his cheque book" to help those struggling with the cost of living, Mr Malthouse said: "Well I don't think we have a tenure, we recognise it is really really tough out here. "I mean I am sitting here with my smart metre thing telling me how much I am spending an hour in my home. It is really tough we recognise that.
"And in fact I tried to log onto my power company app last night and it wasn't working either so. And remember the chancellor just like every MP is rooted in the experience of his constituency, sitting down in his surgeries as I will be doing later today, talking to the constituents about their problems and how they live under problems they face."
Shock horror!An MP feeling cold!Surely he is as well insulated as you Fiat,(sic)
Meanwhile in brexitier household: - dad, I'm cold and hungry, I think I may have covid as well... - shut up, stop this 'boris bashing', 'you are just bitter' or 'poisoned by lefty teachers', 'stop re-moaning' - but dad, I'm really cold 🥶 - can't you 'just believe bit more'?
Won't his £2k payrise cover that?
How sad
Maybe he could use his podcast expenses to pay for his utility bills instead? 'Policing minister [Kit Malthouse] claimed up to £800 a month on expenses to pay for his podcast'
Which home?
Oh please...
I think there needs to be an uprise against these bloody idiots.
Peasant!
He’s taking the Michael
LOL... not so poor Kit.
He can burn his own fat first. So can Nick👍
Just here for my daily dose of Tory bullshit and I'm not disappointed.
I think he might be telling lies
Thank goodness logs are free & everyone has chimneys Wait ….
Surely the bullshit he espouses should more than keep him warm,
Very poor April fools joke from Kit. He earns over 80k. He isn't struggling. Pretending to be a victim of your own colleagues is an odd way to avoid scrutiny. If he is truly saying someone on as much as him (plus expenses) can't make do. How does he think people on an avg wage do
The ridiculousness of these Tory ministers 😊😂 not a clue
Poor Kitty! As a minister of state, Kit Malthouse receives an extra £31,680 on top of his £84,144 MP salary. On 1st April he gets an increase of 2.7%! To give us this sob story is insulting to those surviving on low incomes! He will earn £2,227.38 per week! (Plus expenses!)
Do me a favour, he can claim £3200 for gas and electricity, is getting a £2200 how absolutely patronising can you get. Did nick ask him what he's going to do about it? Did nick ask how does he think people on minimum wage will cope?
Absolute bull, he expenses his heating bills! Has he also got a stable?
Does he know that log fires are not good for the environment?
Gaslighting!
Highly doubt that but if he does I bet he puts the wood on expenses
Another April fool (and a fool in April)
Burning his roubles or sensitive documents?
Diddums!
This is an insult to ordinary working people who aren't on what will be now £86200 salary plus expenses, plus whatever they take in 'gifts' from donors. He ought to try managing on £21500 like thousands of civil servants have to!!!
A disgraceful example or is this an April Fool! AirPollution WoodBurning Health CleanAirCantWait
Bullshit 🐂💩
Bullshit
And Sunak fills up petrol like a common person…all staged crap
