A CONTROVERSIAL Tory MP who has said that people only use food banks because they cannot cook or budget properly has been voted the party’s best backbencher of 2022.
A panel of Tory members, surveyed by the website ConservativeHome, saw Lee Anderson emerge as their favourite backbench MP of 2022.
The Ashfield MP has courted controversy since his 2019 election as part of the Tories’ “Red Wall” victory – ahead of which he defected from Labour.
