Britain faces an “absolute poverty crisis”, consumer champion Martin Lewis warned on Monday as he called for action to shield millions of vulnerable people from rocketing energy bills.
The founder of the website Moneysavingexpert said a “substantial” increase in funding was needed to help those most severely impacted by a frightening surge in prices.
“We are going to have to put money into the system or we are going to have an absolute, not a relative, poverty crisis in this country, with people being unable to eat or dying because of the cold,” Mr Lewis told the BBC.
