Millions face 'stealth tax' on heating bills to subsidise green energy | Mail Online
Millions of families face yet another hike in heating bills to pay for a massive expansion of green energy.

But critics warn that the levy is an 'insidious' stealth tax that will hammer households at a time of rising unemployment, falling incomes and economic uncertainty.
