Martin Lewis alerts civil unrest ‘isn’t far away’ due to increase in living costs

Money master Martin Lewis has notified civil unrest “isn’t far away” as people will “get angry” about the increase in living rates.

The financial journalist, 49, said that the Government should do more to help families all over the United Kingdom brawling to make ends encounter as the rates of food and fuel rise and taxes go high.

The podcaster, often seen on ITV’s This Morning and Good Morning Britain, said: “We need to keep people fed. We need to keep them warm. If we get this wrong right now, then we get to the point where we start to risk civil unrest.

“When breadwinners cannot provide, anger brews, and civil unrest brews – and I do not think we are very far off.

“I would like to see more. But this is a Conservative government.”

In conversation with The Telegraph, Mr. Lewis elaborates how he is “most scared for people” across the state.

Energy bills seem to be set to drain our pockets approximately over the next year and the Bank of England has increased interest rates to 0.75%, diving many Brits into hopelessness.

Annual food bills are going up around £180 and council tax bills will increase by an average of £67 nationwide.

At the same time, National Insurance rates will also increase by 1.25 percentage points. An increase by 1.25% points might seem negligible, but peoples’ contributions are actually rising by more than 10%.

And, talking on Friday, Boris Johnson accepted the cost-of-living setback is “only going to get worse”.

This is even with the pressure growing on the Prime Minister and his team members to do more to help the people of the nation.

Waving at a portrait of Margaret Thatcher during a conference with GB News, Mr. Johnson indicates: “At times of difficulty Mrs. Thatcher had state spending running very, very high as a proportion of GDP because of economic difficulties that the country was in.

“So something like Covid I think she would have dealt with in the exact same way.”

Mr. Lewis, who aged in Withington, Manchester, told that: “This is one of the richest countries in the world. It’s pretty desperate, isn’t it?”
