I can't believe his advisers let him make that statement.
The UK is an importer of energy. He can't freeze the international price.
The only way to do it is to either borrow the difference between the frozen price and market price or to levy an indeterminable additional tax on the UK's O&G sector.
He's going to be beaten by this every time he opens his mouth on the economy from now until the election.
