Money saving expert Martin Lewis has warned of “civil unrest” amid the country’s worsening cost-of-living crisis and says he is 'more scared for people' than ever before. The popular TV personality and founder of the MoneySavingExpert said these are the worst times he has ever seen as inflation continues to rocket across Britain.
In a frank interview with The Sunday Telegraph, Mr Lewis stressed the desperation of people and worried over the consequences as households struggle to pay for the most basic necessities. Martin says that by October inflation will be around 12%, and for fuel inflation will be around 20%.
“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,” he said.
