MP Ronnie Cowan slammed the UK Government as 'incompetent' as he joined a new campaign demanding urgent action on fuel poverty.
Mr Cowan joined a session organised by campaign group 'Warm This Winter' in parliament and spoke to experts from Citizens Advice and other organisations.
He said: "The UK Government must urgently come back with an emergency budget to fix the mess it has created.
"Instead of boosting bankers' bonuses, it must target resources at low and middle income families and small businesses, including by cutting energy bills, introducing a real living wage, reversing Tory cuts to universal credit and lifting the benefits cap."
