Martin Lewis clashes with Edwina Currie after she hits out over 'catastrophe' energy crisis

Money saving expert Martin Lewis has branded the energy crisis a "catastrophe" and hit back at MP Edwina Curry.

Lewis took to Twitter this morning to invite both Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak - the two candidates to be the next Conservative Prime Minister - on his ITV show. But former MP and Minister for Health, Edwina Currie, waded into the row, as she urged Lewis to "stop pretending that governments can do everything".

Ms Currie said: "I would like you, Martin, to stop using words like 'catastrophe', and instead advise people take sensible steps to reduce the effect on their families and businesses. And stop pretending that governments can do everything. They can’t."
