Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis has lashed out at the Government, saying there is a deliberate attempt to use the war in Ukraine to justify millions of people in the UK being thrown into genuine poverty - and left to freeze or starve.
Martin appeared on BBC Radio 4's Today programme to give an update on the cost of living crisis in the country.
He said some people are already facing energy bills of £4,000 a year - and there is nothing anyone outside of Government can do to stop that.
