Thanks Martin, but now Boris must fix crisis
I read with interest your interview last week with Britain’s top money-saving expert Martin
Lewis on how to survive the costof-living crisis currently affecting millions of Britons. I’ve always followed Martin’s money-saving advice. However, this time I just feel that nothing can help. The Government are the only ones who can control this mess and need to pull their finger out to fix it.

Martin Lewis seems to be the only person giving us help on how to cope right now. He and his team at Money Saving Expert deserve our ultimate gratitude during this time.

Martin is on the side of angels for helping millions of families struggling to make ends meet. He shouldn’t feel downhearted, as he told Mail on Sunday consumer affairs editor Daniel Jones. He’s done a wonderful job over the years to help us all.

I was amazed to read that one of the money-saving tips noted by Martin was ‘cut dishwasher tablets in half’. Call me oldfashioned, but if someone is struggling financially, why use a dishwasher at all?

Chancellor Rishi Sunak can’t always save the day by putting money into people’s pockets to help them out with paying bills, as mentioned by Martin. People need to think about what they can live without – from streaming platforms to mobile phone contracts. We must learn to live without expecting the Government to pay.

No wonder we need Martin and his team to help us. People need to get back into the office. The loss of commuter traffic is killing businesses, who are recouping losses by raising prices. Make no mistake, the work-from-home brigade are causing long-term, self-inflicted pain to the economy.

Be careful checking your council tax band, as mentioned by Martin in his top tips to help you save money. It doesn’t always work in your favour, as a friend of mine did just that and ended up being put into the next band up.

While I appreciate what Martin Lewis is doing and has done for this country, he potentially caused some of the issues by his campaign to persuade people to switch to the cheapest energy provider. As we know now, many of those companies weren’t up to the job, and it proved that sometimes the cheapest option isn’t the best.
