Edwina Currie slammed for her comments over cost of living crisis

Britons face months of soaring energy bills, double-digit inflation and an economy heading into a potentially lengthy recession.

Edwina Currie, for it is she, has popped her head up again and waded into the cost of living crisis.

What crisis? She might ask.

Martin Lewis tweeted that he would like to interview the next PM about the cost of living crisis on ITV.

He wrote: Dear @trussliz / @RishiSunak the cost of living crisis has left millions worried how they’ll make ends meet. I’d like to formally invite you, as the new PM, to join me asap once you take office for a special hour’s @itvMLshow discussion/Q&A to answer/ease people’s concerns.

In response, Edwina Currie tweeted: “I would like you, Martin, to stop using words like “catastrophe,” and instead advise people take sensible steps to reduce the effect on their families and businesses. And stop pretending that governments can do everything. They can’t.”

I would like you, Martin, to stop using words like “catastrophe,” and instead advise people take sensible steps to reduce the effect on their families and businesses.
And stop pretending that governments can do everything.
They can’t. https://t.co/MZ50dixNjH

This response is amusing:

Edwina Currie is the sort of level headed mum any young girl would love
Sultry yet cuddly with pristine nails & exotic odours
She puts Martin Lewis in his place like a disciplined headmistress using the cane on a hysterical schoolboy.

Good point?

And what about care homes, Edwina? Or schools and hospitals? Or small businesses? How are households going to manage when their employers go bust? What 'sensible steps' protect you from a 683% rise in energy bills?https://t.co/svIDirBxZd

Not up to the job?

People choose to be in government. If they run away from the first crisis that comes along because it's all too hard and difficult, then frankly they should get out of the way and let someone else have a go. " Sensible steps" will not save thousands of businesses or our economy.

Is there a figure?

Not in the real world?

It is a catastrophe. Martin has stated many times that he is out of tools and help. If he is out of ideas then it is a catastrophe. Jesus wept. I do wish Tories would enter the real world.

When will the government do something?

It is a catastrophe.
Martyn is right.

He's also out of tools and advice. This is when govt has to intervene.
