Warrington Council is defending a decision to invest millions of pounds in an energy company that's now gone bust.

The authority initially invested 18 million in Together Energy for a 50% stake in the firm in 2019, before lending it a further 20 million.

The Labour-run council says it's disappointed that Together Energy has gone under.

It's the latest energy company to fall due to a surge in wholesale gas and electricity prices.

Andy Carter is Conservative MP for Warrington South.
