Theresa May says she's "fed up with rip-off energy prices", so she's confirming she'll include a cap on prices in the Conservatives' general election manifesto. Under the plan, the industry watchdog Ofgem would set a limit for the standard variable tariffs that customers move to by default after deals run out.

The prime minister, writing in the Sun, suggests this could save about 17 million customers up to £100 a year. But Labour, which promised to freeze energy bills in its 2015 manifesto, has called Mrs May's plan "desperate stuff", lacking any "proper detail".
