Do you have the two figures to hand or are you just trying to give Johnson a helping hand?
Do you have the figures or are you just making things up? At least I do the research.
The 12% was on TV news.

Price comparison website Verivox told Tagesspiegel that dozens of suppliers in Germany would be raising household gas prices in autumn, on average more than 13 percent, which corresponds to additional costs of 191 euros for the average household. Verivox said that not only higher market prices would fuel the “gas price wave” but also the next stage in national carbon pricing, which is due to go up from 25 to 30 euros per tonne of CO2 in 2022. Suppliers would often directly pass on this cost increase to customers.
I did post the details of price comparisons between countries, but that post seems to have disappeared(probably due to tidying up of threads).
You can't compare raw gas prices, you have to include all the other costs that the consumer faces(green taxes).

What's that to do with claiming that German gas price increases are less?
