Pretty much just pasta dishes you can make for as little as that I'd think

All of the Tory's are a bunch of brainless idiots, they're so out of touch with us 'peasants' . They'll never know what it's like to be poor let alone homeless. They only care about the wealthy & rich , aslong as they have their big house & car and money basically screw the rest of us.

They can't even pretend to have sympathy for the crisis people are in. They'd rather come out with insulting statements like this instead by slating people's cooking skills ,and treating us like we're stupid.

Bear in mind some people don't have a roof over their heads let alone a cooker to make food. They don't know where the next meal will come from .

As MTVN said they only meal that would come anywhere near 30p a person would be pasta with a tin of cheap tomatoes or very cheap jar of past sauce - not balanced or really healthy. Even that will still probably cost more than 30p

Even batch cooking in large amounts will not come in anywhere close - you can't get ingredients that cheaply anymore - even the cheap ranges in supermarkets

You do realise this bloke gives up his spare time to work at a food bank?

Exactly, like I said it’s not possible to get cheap bulk ingredients like it used to be. You could make a basic pasta dish, basic rice dish, I guess maybe a baked potato… but with literally no toppings. Even the cheapest jar of sauce would bring it to more than 30p, and making sauce from scratch costs more than a cheap jar.

Realistically, the cheapest you can do a family main meal for 4 on, that wouldn’t end in nutritional deficiencies, is about £5 per meal (so £1.25 per person) and tbh even that’s going to be basic.

Meat is expensive and people say “go veggie then” but the main thing vegans use as a protein substitute (beans and pulses etc) are actually not cheap.

That makes it even worse that he would talk all this BS !! .

Yes was going to say, if that's true then he should know better!

Exactly it all adds up ,so unless he wants everyone to live of a lettuce leaf like a snail ? . I'd like to know what meal out there costs 30p aswell.

Exactly, I have a meeting after work so needed stuff for a quickish easy meal tonight. I have just bought tinned tuna, jacket potatoes and salad stuff - trying to get something relatively balanced meal and even that (with supermarket tuna as my weirdo kid prefers the cheap stuff) has come in around £1.50 - 5 times the amount he has said you can cook for.

I think the only way to cook a meal for 30p is to visit the food banks that he has said are not needed :shrug:

The gas/electricity to cook a meal is going to be more than 30p ... forget the cost of the food

It’s giving big ‘just stop being poor’ energy

That's why people will go hungry and freeze to death.winter will be even worse.

Even if you could make a meal for 30p, as mentioned in here, it would be piss poor unhealthy food, with next no nutritional value whatsoever. Why should anyone have to live like that anyway??? You know he bloody isn't.

He's the same kinda of person who'll be complaining poor people are too fat next, due to rubbish diets and 'laziness'.

Wankers like him don't do anything like that out of 'good will' it's all a front in order to look good and caring, to get votes. The man doesn't give a toss!

It's the papers bull****, they screwed him over by twisting what he said :shrug:

:joker: awwww poor wealthy MP I'm sure his nice warm heating ,and his big house will comfort his tears . He still said his thoughtless comments ,and he still has no idea what it's like to be in poverty or living on the streets :notimpressed: .

What were his literal untwisted words?

He does voluntary work at a food bank...can we all say the same?

Seriously, does that make him a good person? Some of the biggest crims in the world did charity work. Mr Saville comes immediately to mind

My work is 3rd sector/non-profit so I get to say I'm a nice boy by default :hee:

You get paid for sitting on your arse all day doing virtually nothing so I’d pipe down .

It makes him a good person when hes doing it..

And also points more towards him being a good person than a bad person.

He used to be a Labour Councillor.

Well it was debated on TV earlier and they seem to think he made a mistake with the amount,they were thinking maybe he meant £3:shrug:
