A Labour MP has blasted a string of protests as 'utterly sickening' after demonstrators were filmed emptying cartons of milk onto the floor of a Marks and Spencer.
Protesters targeted the store in Manchester city centre on Saturday (October 15), pouring out the cartons of milk onto the shop floor and placing placards over joints of beef. The protest group Animal Rebellion said the store on Market Street was one of many others targeted in a day of action across the country on their social media.
Sharing video footage of one of the protests staged in an Edinburgh Waitrose, in which demonstrators held up signs reading 'Plant Based Future' as they emptied milk out onto the floor, Labour MP for Denton and Reddish, Andrew Gwynne, branded the act 'utterly sickening' at a time where 'food poverty and foodbank use is rising'.
