Boris tells people to buy new £20 kettle to help with electricity bills



Boris Johnson has suggested families buy a new kettle to save them a whopping £10 on their energy bills.

The outgoing prime minister delivered his top tip during a speech in Suffolk today, but it was immediately lambasted as a ‘slap in the face’ to millions of struggling Brits.

Tory ministers have insisted ‘help is coming’ to ease spiralling energy bills and the cost-of-living crisis, but are waiting for a new leader to be elected next week.

In the meantime, Mr Johnson helpfully said: ‘If you have an old kettle that 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.’

The PM’s tip in the face of a looming financial crisis was ridiculed by rival politicians and British workers alike.

Labour’s shadow business minister Bill Esterson said: ‘Is he seriously out of touch, or is it that he just doesn’t care, or both?’

Author Edwin Hayward said it was ‘like suggesting using a thimble to bail out the Titanic after it struck the iceberg’.

IT support worker Dave joked: ‘The energy crisis has been sorted, folks’.

‘Is this guy for real?’ another person asked. ‘So two years before I break-even and three to see an actual saving, at which point, it’ll most likely be time to replace the kettle because it’s no longer efficient or broken.’

One Londoner wrote: ‘Great, how many kettles do I need to buy to save £4,990 more when my bills go up?’

Mr Johnson said his successor – whether it is Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak – would offer more cash support.

‘Of course, there will be more cash to come, whoever takes over from me, in the months ahead – substantial sums, that’s absolutely clear,’ he told the audience.

The combination of staggering energy costs and rampant inflation is creating the biggest squeeze in living standards for a century.

Household disposable incomes are on course to fall by 10% over this year and next, while the number of people living in absolute poverty is set to rise by 3 million to 14 million in 2023 to 2024.

People can expect to spend about £10.25 more on groceries each week and monthly bills are set to soar to around £295.75.

May the most inept PM we have ever been graced with rot very slowly and painfully, in Hell.

To be fair the buffoon was trying to explain the costs and benefits of a new nuclear reactor and has been quoted out of context.
