A mum struggling with rising energy bills furiously confronted Rishi Sunak earlier this year as she challenged the top Tory over his Spring Statement.
Now as Sunak looks set to become PM, with experts expecting he could take the role TODAY after Liz Truss stepped down following a disastrous 44 days, the interview has resurfaced. In the LBC interview in March, mum-of-two Hzul, from Crawley told Sunak that her home was so cold "you can see our breath", despite working threes jobs to make ends meet.
She told Sunak that while on paper she "has a good job and what's considered a good salary" rising energy prices had "put an intense strain on my ability to provide for my children".
Outlining her circumstances in a bid to push the government to do more, she said: "Unfortunately the rising costs of everything especially energy have now put an intense strain on my ability to provide for my children.
"The significant increase in our energy bills has meant that we don't have the boiler on.
"The lights are always off unless absolutely necessary and when it's cold, we wear jumpers and coats and sometimes you can see our breaths when we breathe.
"Now, despite working a full time job I'm having to find ways to bridge the gap. I've started cleaning houses and I spend every evening riding a bike delivering Uber Eats.
"I've managed to cut my grocery shop down to just £15 a week for an adult and two children, and I often go without myself to make sure the kids get what they need and they're fed."
She highlighted the support outlined by the government wasn't going to cut it, adding: "I've just about been able to balance things up until this point but I'm now facing paying out more each month than I'm making.
The Mirror is campaigning for a general election to end the Tory chaos, which has resulted in three Prime Ministers this year.
"What are you going to do to address the soaring cost of energy? And if you're not doing anything, please tell me what else you suggest I can be doing to help myself."
In response, Mr Sunak, who is valued at £730m alongside his wife, said he "can't imagine" her struggles and said he also had two kids, but had "my wife and other help".
"Enormous admiration for what you're doing and it sounds like you're working your socks off to look after [your children]," he said.
"On energy bills in particular, you're right, they are going up and we have something called the energy price cap, which has protected people's bills from going up but in April it will go up... and that's going to affect almost everybody."
