PETROL prices in Hereford continue to rise as Boris Johnson faces criticism for “laughing in our faces” during the cost-of-living crisis and fuel poverty.

The criticism came from Labour MP Andy McDonald, who said during the pandemic he has seen a massive shift in wealth from the poorest to the richest.

The MP for Middlesbrough said: “And they are now sitting on their hands and laughing in our faces as the cost-of-living crisis and fuel poverty could well leave thousands more to die of cold in their own homes.”
