Proceeding contribution from Richard Burgon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 June 2026. It occurred during Debate on Energy Costs.
Energy Costs
Is it not totally outrageous that energy giants will make billions in extra profits from Trump’s war on Iran while ordinary people are hit with higher costs? Does the Minister agree that we should introduce an emergency war profits tax to ensure that they cannot make a single extra penny in super-profits from this crisis? We can use that money to fund urgent cost of living support.
