Rishi Sunak phoned Martin Lewis for tips over cost of living cash for Brits

  1. This is a massive display of incompetence and an admission that he doesn’t have a clue how to do the difficult bits of being the Chancellor. Although, he is at least asking the right person for advice.

  2. I’m a millionaire and I still use Martin Lewis advice. People think rich people spend like crazy, quite the opposite, I probably spend less then most broke middle class folk. I scrimp and save and count every penny too.

  3. Rishi: what should we do about this cost of living crisis
    Martin : well your going to have to cut tax in certain areas increase Benifits some windfall tax and taking some more of the ultra rich
    Rishi : …………………….bye

  4. I mean, it’s not a bad thing if this was ONE of the things he did in coming up with the solution

    That’s the role of leaders everywhere – to take into account advice and research from experts, rather than be the expert themselves

    The issue is if this is the ONLY thing he did + plus doesn’t listen to the experts (which typically is the case)

  5. One of the few good idea’s he’s had. If you’re completely out of touch, it helps to recognise it and look for solutions and/or input from people who aren’t.

  6. “I don’t understand it Martin, why do Brits not simply sell their holiday home in the US, or Spain, or at least their holiday home in France? If they’re really struggling why don’t they liquidate some of their stock portfolio?”

  7. If prices go up then just keep raising the interest rates until it goes down… Isn’t that the doctrine?

  8. We need to see Sunak, Martin Lewis and Jack Munroe at three lecturns in the £2.6 million Number 10 press room.
    Johnson could hatch one of his asinine three word slogans – “Get Britain Fed” or “Eat More Grass”

  9. I remember reading few weeks ago that his time working in government isn’t right just now because he is focused on his daughter so I’m thinking they may of offered him an advisory role but declined yet still gave advice.

    When the time is right, I reckon he will do a lot of good.

  10. Rishi Sunak net worth 2022 200mill /
    Mrs Sunak ” ” ” 500mill

    Martin lewis ” ” ” 120mill

    I’ll just leave that there

  11. Yeah, not great Rishi had to ask, but he went to the right person when he did! Martin Lewis shows some real passion for what he does, I can imagine he laid down some hard truths for Rishi to stew over.

  12. “Hi, Martin, first-time caller. My country is rapidly descending into second-tier global economic status. Do you have any advice on how its citizens can tighten their belts and get by with less while paying swiftly rising prices?”
