Martin Lewis has felt forced to delete a story he shared about his nine-year-old daughter after he was targeted by 'horrible' trolls. In a now-deleted tweet, the Money Saving Expert founder took to the social media platform on Wednesday (October 19), to recall a sweet conversation he had with his young daughter Sapphire about politics.
But after Martin was basically accused of lying about the conversation, he has now explained why he had deleted the post in a follow-up tweet and asked his followers to consider why he would 'bother making something like that up'.
"Just been blown away by mini MSE (aged 9)," the original post began, as reported by the Mirror. "I asked her if she knew what the government's job is. She simply replied: 'The government's job is to help shape the country.'" The proud father concluded by saying: "Brilliant and succinct."
