‘No question of lights going out this winter’ says UK business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng

Guardian News published this video item, entitled “‘No question of lights going out this winter’ says UK business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng” – below is their description.

No 10 has brushed off the idea that there could be a winter of discontent with energy and food shortages over Christmas, saying the UK is ‘highly resilient’. With the government locked in talks with energy suppliers about the rising cost of gas and many struggling to stay afloat, Kwasi Kwarteng, the business secretary, said there was ‘no question of the lights going out’. ‘There will be no three-day working weeks or a throwback to the 1970s,’ he said. ‘Such thinking is alarmist, unhelpful and completely misguided.’
