"Make no mistake, Chris O'Shea’s multi-million pound pay rise has been paid for by workers and their families who have struggled with rocketing energy bills."
The energy firm woke up Britons between 2.30am and 4.30am with a message asking: 'This is British Gas, we want to conduct a survey asking how did we do.'
