Martin Lewis warns civil unrest 'isn’t far away' as cost of living crisis hits

Money expert Martin Lewis has warned people will 'get angry' about the rise in living costs, with 'civil unrest' brewing across the nation as millions continue to feel the pinch. The financial journalist, 49, said the Government must do more to help families across the UK who are struggling to make ends meet as the prices of food and fuel rise and taxes go up.

The broadcaster, who is a familiar face on our screens, regularly featuring on ITV's This Morning and Good Morning Britain, said: "We need to keep people fed. We need to keep them warm. If we get this wrong right now, then we get to the point where we start to risk civil unrest.

"When breadwinners cannot provide, anger brews and civil unrest brews – and I do not think we are very far off. I would like to see more. But this is a Conservative government."
