Martin Lewis says he was rejected by House of Lords

“I said – because most of the time that the Lords sits about three till 10 [pm] on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday – ‘Look, I need to be straight with you in terms of the hours I can give. I’m very busy with my job, but most importantly I have a nine-year-old daughter and until she’s 13, my most important job from 6.30 until eight at night is to be with her and to put her to bed, maybe until she’s 12, whatever’.”
