Our investigation comes after new research shows eight out of 10 households will be forced to ration their energy this winter and an influential campaign group fears 200 pensioners a day could die because they can’t afford to heat their homes. Clare Welton, of Fuel Poverty Action, said: “When the Government’s only response to millions of people not being able to afford their fuel bills is to tell us to change supplier or wear a jumper, it is outrageous to see MPs claiming hefty amounts of taxpayer money to pay for their own bills. “It is little wonder that many MPs have done nothing to tackle fuel poverty in this country when they are immune from the price hikes by the profit-hungry Big Six energy companies. “Thousands of people will die this winter in cold homes but we know the MPs will be keeping nice and warm in their first and second homes.” mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/340-mps-energy-bills-paid-2671053#ixzz2jtMz8pdl
