Nottinghamshire MP Lee Anderson has been slammed after he claimed those using foodbanks are wasting money on "fags and booze". The Ashfield MP said that foodbanks have become an "industry".
Mr Anderson made his comments in an interview with The Telegraph. He claimed people were spending money on non-essentials such as Sky TV, according to The Mirror.
He said: "In a lot of cases these people were just wasting money on fags and booze and non-essentials, non-priority debts, Sky TV or Virgin Media. There was a lot of money they could save.
