A furious Martin Lewis has slapped down the Conservative Party after they posted a video of him on social media, claiming the trusted financial guru had said that Labour would put up people's taxes. The Money Saving Expert website founder tore apart the Conservative attack ad, pointing out that "NO WHERE" in the clip had he spoken about taxes.
Instead, he said he had actually been referring to a "positive change" Labour was hoping to introduce. In the video, which was taken from Wednesday's Good Morning Britain episode, Mr Lewis spoke about how he has behind the scenes discussions with the Tories and Labour.
He said: "I had a conversation with a senior member of the Labour Party, a private conversation, as I do with both parties and the exact phrase they used with me, when I asked about a particular policy, they said: 'We're not putting it in our manifesto because I can't commit. We'll do it but it is my aim we will do it over the next Parliament'."

The Conservatives then cut the clip and posted it on Twitter, with a caption reading: "They're not telling you the full truth. Labour have said they wouldn't put up your taxes. But it's now becoming clear that they have every intention to put them up."
Mr Lewis hit back on social media, saying: "NO WHERE in this comment do I talk about taxes. And the policy that I discussed (I will keep private as it was private) was NOT about taxes, or tax rises, it was about something that would be a positive change."
The Tories have attempted to make tax issues the central focus of the election campaign, but have been repeatedly corrected over claims that Labour will raise taxes by £2000.
