Good Morning Viewers were furious after presenter Jonathan Swain called food banks "trendy."
During a discussion of the cost of living crisis, presenters Rob Rinder and Ranvir Singh said people are expected to "starve to death" if the government doesn't intervene immediately. They said both Tory candidates running for Prime Minister must act now if they want to avoid disaster.
The studio passed over to co-presenter Jonathan Wain who was on stand-by outside of a local soup kitchen. He spoke to staff at the location to discuss the impact and stress the facilities have been put under.
