What a f ing moron. Jesus Christ!!

30p a meal? What world is this idiot living in. You can put your house on HIM never having a 30 pence meal too.

I know he doesn't speak for all Tories, but how can people vote for a party with tw@s like this a part of it?!

30p a meal is pie in the sky, but it can't be denied that not rnough low-income people know how to cook properly, and how to budget and shop effectively in order to cook.
Dispel the myth that people are "forced" to live on ready meals and takeaways.

FFS. As opposed to Middle and Upper Classes who obviously know how to cook properly because ya know, they're better than those poor, dirty folk. Yep, if you're poor, you're also dumb and can't cook, of course!

Awesome stuff right there!

I'm here for leftist swan.

Welcome, comrade :laugh:

Yes a moron….but I bet if you asked any MP the cost of a loaf of bread they wouldn’t have a clue…

LUL :laugh:

But for real, it really beggars belief doesn't it?! (actually no, it doesn't, this a typical hardcore, old school Tory thing to say i guess)

Yes, i'd agree with that.

that is coming from someone who probably referred to his student days 30 or 40 years ago. When I was a student in digs, we each put £5 in to a kitty every week and that was our food budget. Those days have long gone. A single person these days is probably looking at at least £30-40 per week and that is picking items that are cheap

Some are twisting what he said in
Parliament.

Saying some can not cook
is a valid point.


He works in a local Food Bank
helping them.


What he said in Parliament
has been twisted.


Ref: Live Debate on GMBHD itv
featuring what he said in Parliament

Lee Anderson Conservative MP
is going to go on the media today
to explain more, what he was saying.



He is a Former Labour Councillor

Yes he is talking about his own Food Bank
in his region.


This why is got out of Hand
in the Left Wing Mirror paper

Thanks for posting the clip bitontheslide.

I heard this being debated on LBC yesterday The Trussel Group provide lessons on budgeting and cookery courses

https://www.trusselltrust.org/2017/0...okery-courses/

So what he is suggesting is already in place

What he appears to be missing now is that people cannot afford the energy to cook meals even if they know how to

I would like his receipe for meals for 30p though :laugh:

It’s straight up false, cooking fresh costs as much as if not more than cheap oven-cooked junk. 15 years ago it was maybe true, but you can’t buy bulk ingredients all that cheaply any more.

I'm not a Tory, and I'm not old :fist:

That's awesome, it's the kind of thing that should be more widely known.

You have working poor and benefits poor
I don’t see many slim poor people

The above is my observation

Yes, they eat the wrong food

let them eat cake?

No,let them go on a diet

Eating well is expensive.

I know that.

Definitely be interested in his 30p recipes
