Nottinghamshire MP Lee Anderson has drawn heavy criticism after using one of his staffers to make an argument against nurses using foodbanks. The Ashfield MP uploaded an image of Katy to Twitter on Thursday, January 19, saying she earned £30,000 a year and does not need to use a foodbank.
The Conservative MP had earlier defended fellow Tory Simon Clarke, who told nurses on £35,000 a year that "something is wrong with your budgeting” if they are using foodbanks. Mr Anderson said in the tweet: "Katy works for me.
"She is single & earns less than 30k, rents a room for £775pcm in Central London, has student debt, £120 a month on travelling to work, saves money every month, goes on foreign holidays & does not need to use a foodbank.
