Hardline Tory Deputy Chairman Lee Anderson has lashed out at families who he claims "abuse" food banks - then take their children to McDonald's.
The controversial right-winger was accused of "political cowardice" over his comments, which were described as a "demonisation" of those in poverty.
Mr Anderson, who regularly rants about the use of foodbanks by struggling Brits, claimed people were using them as a "weekly shop" in a Commons debate.
