Martin Lewis slams critics after he praises Rishi Sunak's cost of living plan

Martin Lewis hit out at critics who have branded him a "sell out" after he praised the Government's package to help people with the cost of living crisis.

People in the UK are set to receive a £400 discount to go towards their energy bills after Rishi Sunak made a U-turn on his plans to force people to pay back help.
