When it comes to huge oil and gas profits, and now when it comes to clear profiteering from supermarkets, the Conservatives are happy to sit back and do nothing.
People deserve better.
We need to bring soaring food prices back under control and offer relief to families. That means cracking down on profiteering by food multinationals and the big supermarkets so customers get a fair deal.
The Liberal Democrats are calling for the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to investigate whether any profiteering has taken place among big supermarkets and food multinationals, and for tougher rules to prevent them raising the price of essentials more than they need to.
