Welsh secretary admits Martin Lewis 'has a point' that UK Government should do more over energy prices

Welsh secretary Robert Buckland has said he agrees with comments by financial journalist Martin Lewis that the UK Government needs to do more to help people with the cost of living crisis.

Earlier this week, Mr Lewis said: "The winter coming is going to be bleak. I believe, unless action is taken, we are facing a potential national financial cataclysm. As individuals, you need to be aware of that so you can take, if possible (and to be honest, it's not always possible), preventative action yourself.

"Yet more so, the Conservative Party leadership candidates, one of whom will soon become our Prime Minister, need to know how stark things will be on the day they take office. So far, the debate seems to have mostly ignored the fact we are sitting on a financial time bomb that's due to explode in September. And those candidates, in truth, are the only ones with a chance of defusing that catastrophe."
