Money saving expert Martin Lewis has issued a plea to chancellor Rishi Sunak for action in his mini-budget on Wednesday to help families facing the worst cost-of-living crisis for at least 20 years.
Lewis said the coming crisis will be worse for families’ wallets than the financial crash of 2008 or the Covid pandemic, with an additional £1,300 a year on average bills for gas and electricity and 10 million people likely to be thrust into fuel poverty.
