GMB host Martin Lewis became embroiled in a heated exchange with Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy on the show today (October 9).
Martin was hosting alongside Good Morning Britain‘s Susanna Reid, but she remained pretty much silent during the interview as Martin took the MP to task over the winter fuel allowance.
Joining via videolink, Martin appeared furious as he told Nandy that there would be “hundreds of thousands of the poorest pensioners” going without the much-needed benefit because they didn’t know how to re-apply for the benefit.
He then accused the government of “taking money out of their hands”.

GMB today: Martin Lewis grills Lisa Nandy
Martin said: “You have to accept there will be many hundreds of thousands of the poorest pensioners under £11,400 income you will not reach this year. You are taking money out of their hands.
“So let’s be honest. You are willing to accept that collateral damage of hundreds of thousands of poorest pensioners, many with dementia, not getting the winter fuel payment.”
