Rejected petition Parliament to introduce a windfall tax on energy companies

Its totally wrong that energy companies are making obscene amounts in profit while individuals, families and businesses suffer. Its wrong to expect the taxpayer to foot the bill to protect the profits of the energy companies.

More details

Its time for the Government to put the interests of the British people first, that includes ahead of party interests etc. It's wrong that energy companies are making billions in profit whilst so many suffer. We, the public have had enough. We should not have to pay more tax to protect the profits of the energy companies, the bonuses paid out and dividends paid to shareholders.
