Martin Lewis came face-to-face with Jeremy Hunt on Tuesday (July 7) in a meeting which aired on ITV. The Money Saving Expert founder, who is known for holding the government to account when it comes to issues such as the cost of living, pressed the Chancellor for answers over the current mortgage crisis.
Martin's meeting with Jeremy, who has served as Chancellor of the Exchequer since 2022, formed part of the 'mortgage special' of the The Martin Lewis Money Show Live. Despite coming off air earlier this year, the financial expert called for an 'emergency' programme to address some of the key issues facing homeowners today.
It comes as many homeowners are now facing sky-high monthly mortgage repayments after the Bank of England made 13 consecutive interest rates rises. At the start of his self-titled show, Martin told viewers that mortgage rates were at a 15-year high and were now higher than after the mini budget.
