Nick Clegg, the Liberal Democrat leader, has accused energy companies of "blackmailing" the government because they are apparently reluctant to fund energy-saving measures for poorer customers. Mr Clegg told BBC Radio 4's Today programme "Without help, this winter could turn out to be a disastrous one for customers unable to pay their bills."
