NEW: End Fuel Poverty Coalition predicts just under a THIRD of all UK households - 10.5 million - will be in fuel poverty from 1st January.
They think it'll hit 9.2m in Oct and then go over 10m. & that does take in to account govt support package coming in autumn. @LBC@LBCNews
In other words, 10.5 million families may not be able to afford heating this winter.
It’s estimated it was 4.6 million last year, so it’s more than doubled. @LBC@LBCNews

After a shark attacked a swimmer off the British coast for the first time in 175 years @NickFerrariLBC set a challenge to Reporter @charlotterlynch
"Go for a swim..."
Someone should maybe tell the spokesperson for @trussliz that this contest is only happening because the last guy just kept on lying, and his spokesperson had to apologise for deliberately lying for months.
