Martin Lewis Has Another Devastating Warning About Energy Bills Set To Hit Brits In October

If you needed something to brighten up your Thursday morning then you came to very much the wrong place.

After causing everyone's hearts to plummet, the Money Saving Expert continued: "I've just got updated price cap predictions from @CornwallInsight.

"The latest spike in year-ahead wholesale price means the OCT cap prediction is now UP 78% (so £3,500/yr on typical bills) & likely up again in Jan.

"It will be desperate. Intervention needed."

Brits have - quite rightly - taken to the post in absolute outrage, because if the Money Saving Expert himself says its bad and that 'intervention is needed' then that's a clear sign the country has nearly hit rock bottom.

One user said: "I'm sick to my stomach."

"We just won't pay Martin. Then they can slap me with a fine that I just can't pay either," another contested.

A third wrote: "How many people can survive this?"

Bartrum said: "Ultimately it’s a political choice about who you want to help, and the chancellor is free to make whatever choice he wants but the response from economists and others was largely one of surprise that he didn’t offer more support for fewer people at the lower end of the income distribution given the money he wanted to spend."

In line with Lewis' predictions, research director at the Resolution Foundation also noted the impact of the war in Ukraine.

"There’s a rough couple of years ahead.

"A lot depends on factors that happen outside of the United Kingdom – there were already large rises in heating, oil prices and gas prices before the war started in Ukraine, but this war will make things worse.

"There are food prices and energy prices that are determined on world markets," he said.
