Martin Lewis [@MartinSLewis] on @BBCr4today just now: "I am slightly worried that we are seeing potentially a deliberate narrative shift that effectively says the entire cost of living crisis is due to Ukraine and we all need to make sacrifices - that is not correct"
He continued: "What has happened in Ukraine has exacerbated the situation but the rises in energy, heating, water, council tax, broadband, mobiles, food, national insurance were all in place before Ukraine"
.@MartinSLewis: "When we have a Budget, we need to be careful not to allow that narrative to happen, to be used as an excuse that we need to make sacrifices because of Ukraine and that’s why we all have to suck in the #CostOfLivingCrisis - because it is not correct analysis"
Urging @RishiSunak to make a "genuine political intervention", Lewis added: "We are going to see a real increase in genuine poverty in this country. Millions thrown into poverty...I would urge the Chancellor to nip this in the bud and let's not have people starving or freezing"
