      I've always jokingly said why is it that all the shop owners on the High St are usually the ones involved in county council or local council politics ? Some are some aren't but you can bet your bottom dollar there are some good advantages to being in the same room as other connected businessmen/women. It's why the big players on the world stage meet regularly to discuss how they can make an extra buck from what they sell, they would start the same biased campaign the last Labour leader had to endure , Martin would be discredited every time he popped his head above the parapet. There are so few good people in politics any more !

      This the hero who sent every out to the cheapest energy supplier, nearly all of them had no experience in energy supply, many have now been shown to have made dubious payments and enriched their selves, he has made no criticism of the energy regulator who allowed any and everyone to become an energy supplier, clubs even councils tried their luck hoping to get rich, and lewis told everyone to jump on the cheapest offer, never questioning if the offer looked too good to true, the result we all pay more for energy for all these failed companies.

      Thankfully we don't do gifts in my family! Well, my parents have paid for something I will do with them - but it came up naturally and I offered to pay.
      Surprise gifts stopped when I was like 12-13 and the price of what I wanted since then has always been an open conversation.

      You can go in with the most honest intentions, but you WILL hit a point where you either sacrifice your integrity or you fail.
      Your opponents will happily play dirty to get the edge on you, so you will need to do the same to keep up. The people who benefit from corruption are going to see you as a threat and sabotage you, so you must find a way to keep them happy (which basically means continuing that corruption). Your own allies will betray you if they see your honesty as a weakness/liability, voting you out.
      The best example I can think of is taxation. It's easy to say "just tax the omega rich more", but when you do that you just make it more appealing for those corporations to take their business (and their tax money) to whatever country is willing to slide them a better deal. Just like that you'll find that you must give in to _some_ corruption to keep those people happy and willing to keep their businesses, jobs, and taxes within the country.
      I think the idea that everyone who aspires to become an MP is going in with the intention to make things worse for everyone is naive. I'm willing to bet the overwhelming majority of them went into it with genuine intentions to improve the country, but ended up being corrupted (it's called 'corruption' for a reason, because it spreads like that).
      This is why I try not to fall into the mindset of "politician bad" like most people seem to, because I know that realistically I'd probably be no different if I were in their seats.

      What is needed is a number you dial like 1471 after a fraud call. After a certain number of reports, the number is cut off. You then can appeal if you think that's wrong.

    If anyone deserves a seat in the House of Lords & a peerage it is Martyn Lewis

      I truly believe the House of Lords should be made up of Subject Matter Experts.
      They should be experts in their field, non political, and appointed by a Proportional Representative (of the electorate) committee from the Commons. They serve a maximum of 10 years.
      Let’s say the commons is sending through a bill on Child Welfare. The Lords who have expertise in the area will be able to review and amend the bill.
      They send it back to the commons and it bounces back and forth until it is acceptable to both.
      The Commons would only have supremacy in the Finance Act and National Security. Everything else would have to go for review with the Subject Matter Experts.
      If a bill is processing where there are no experts in the Lords it is paused until a minimum number of Lords are present to scrutinise.

    A sign of the times that the biggest reaction was to the entirely appropriate use of the word 'bollocks'.

      There has to be some standard in parliamentary language, if only so that the transcribers aren't exposed to the worst of it. I do agree with your comment though - I was surprised that the meeting wasn't upset with what Martin was saying. It really is shocking how little the Conservative government has done to protect vulnerable people.

    Dear Martin Lewis . Thank you for all your tips and information especially during the cost of living crisis. But the British Government doesn’t have a good track record of actually doing stuff in the public interest however transparently obvious it should be.
    Thanks a million please keep up the good work 😊

      You do realise Martin has recommends these services and that because he get kickbacks for doing so?
      He loves recommending octopus energy but he holds quite a few shares in them, conflict of interest much?
      People see him as a savior but he is just as a bad as the typical self-serving politician

      he sums it up quite well, he is an expert in his field and will not answer anything that he is not an expert on, in contrast MP's are not experts in anything but will make up an answer for anything its shocking, the lines of questioning at the beginning were childlike, Parliament is like a circus, they all need to do some work experience and sit in a board room and understand how intelligent conversations happen, they happen with intelligence and expertise!
