Chancellor Rachel Reeves faces a furious grilling in the Treasury Committee as rural pensioners are told to “just wait” while heating oil prices hit an eye-watering £1,000 per tank.

With the Iran conflict squeezing global supplies and price gouging running rampant, one MP asks a simple question: what should freezing families do right now?

Reeves’ answer? “Top up a little bit” — or “hang on.”

But for pensioners who rely on heating oil, waiting isn’t an option.

In this explosive exchange, we break down:
🔹 What Reeves promised to investigate
🔹 The “bulk buy only” loophole leaving customers trapped
🔹 Why rural Britain feels abandoned by the Treasury
