Money-Saving Expert Martin Lewis has lashed out at the government by claiming it was deliberately trying to use the Ukrainian war to justify throwing British citizens into poverty.
He appeared on BBC Radio 4's Today programme to talk about the rising cost of living crisis the UK. He noted that some people are already facing energy bills of £4,000 a year with no external help outside of the government available.
Mr Lewis also claimed that there appears to be a deliberate attempt by the government to blame the war in Ukraine for the current financial crisis affecting homes across the country with citizens being told to make sacrifices due to the conflict.
