Kit Malthouse revealed he had turned off the heating in his home from today and was instead burning a log fire to keep warm
Picture: Alamy/LBCGovernment minister Kit Malthouse has revealed he is finding the cost of living crisis "tricky" as the price of fuel, energy and oil sky rocket in the UK.Speaking to Nick Ferrari at Breakfast, the policing minister revealed his household had begun to make cut backs as they grapple with the soaring cost of oil central heating, including turning off the heating in his home from today and instead burning a log fire to keep warm.
When grilled by Nick on whether or not Chancellor Rishi Sunak should "open his cheque book" to help those struggling with the cost of living, Mr Malthouse said: "Well I don't think we have a tenure, we recognise it is really really tough out here. "I mean I am sitting here with my smart metre thing telling me how much I am spending an hour in my home. It is really tough we recognise that.
"And in fact I tried to log onto my power company app last night and it wasn't working either so. And remember the chancellor just like every MP is rooted in the experience of his constituency, sitting down in his surgeries as I will be doing later today, talking to the constituents about their problems and how they live under problems they face."
