Martin Lewis telling us how financially awful the future looks.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Martin Lewis started a political party? Someone you could trust, who had the people’s best interests at heart.

He does meet up to discuss things with them so hopefully has some influence. He can discuss the problems and suggest some solutions, but whether the politicians are willing or able to follow his advice is another matter. He may be suggesting things they cannot actually do.

For anyone who prefers to read, rather than listen, there's a transcript here.

Quite easy to point out the facts as he sees them but financial solutions not so easy

We could control fossil fuel prices or renationalise the industries so that they're not paying ridiculous CEO salaries and dividends to shareholders to be siphoned off into tax havens. Tax them a bit more and give more support to those who cannot afford to pay swingeing price increases.

In the longer term, invest seriously in renewable energy. Invest in public transport to cut car usage. Ban advertising that encourages the unnecessary use of fossil fuel based energy. Educate the public...
This isn't just a cost of living crisis, it's a climate emergency and government should be prepared to take radical measures to deal with it, as they would in, say, a war.

I doubt it very much. He's talking far too much sense.
