Of course, the government can just use GoCompare to save money on its debt interest.
And here I thought they’d had enough of experts..
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.
Because he’s a billionaire who doesn’t have a clue about how regular people live.
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.
Embarrassing
Hedge fund manager hasn’t a fucking clue about the effects of the economy on ordinary people, shock.

What a completely made-up load of balls.
I would rather he phoned him than guessed! Nothing wrong with special advisors if they are qualified…
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
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)
£5k is loose change to Rishi Sunak
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.
This will make Martin Lewis cockier than ever! No stopping him now!
“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?”
If prices go up then just keep raising the interest rates until it goes down… Isn’t that the doctrine?
Well done for asking an expert
Seems we haven’t had enough of experts after all
Pathetic.
Sunak would be out of his depth in the shower.
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”
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.
Nobody can have all the ideas. Lewis knows his stuff and will have his own ideas.
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.
“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?”

The first good thing he’s done
Rishi Sunak net worth 2022 200mill /
Mrs Sunak ” ” ” 500mill
Martin lewis ” ” ” 120mill
I’ll just leave that there
Fair play to him.
