“It was very sad to hear of the death of the Queen. A much-loved woman, she was respected around the globe.

Mebyon Kernow – the Party for Cornwall has welcomed the news that the Conservative Government has announced an energy bill price cap for households, plus support for businesses, but criticized Liz Truss’s new administration for refusing to consider a windfall tax on large energy companies.
