Martin Lewis: Jeremy Hunt must halt ‘frightening’ energy bill hike

Martin Lewis has called on Jeremy Hunt to push the anticipated upcoming energy price rise down the line.

The MoneySavingExpert founder revealed during a Good Morning Britain interview that he has written a letter to the chancellor.

Mr Lewis elaborates on his letter in this clip from the broadcast.
