Martin Lewis pleads with Dominic Raab to do more to help those hit by energy crisis

Martin Lewis grilled Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab on Good Morning Britain this morning as he pleaded with him to "please do more" for the vulnerable hit by rising energy bills. The Money Saving Expert was joined by co-host Susanna Reid in a GMB special episode,which offered viewers, for the first time ever, a chance to call in for free with questions on the cost of living crisis.

During the ITV morning show, the Secretary of State for Justice was interviewed on the rising energy costs and was asked by Mr Lewis what the government was doing to help the "most vulnerable disabled families". "Cost of living challenges are difficult for everyone, but particularly for disabled families," Mr Raab replied.

“The answer to your question is amiss the £20billion package to deal with the cost of living, £22bn now after the spring statement. So if you’ve got a long-term disability, the personal independent payments allow you to take into account living costs."
