MPs are tucking into bargain bacon sarnies and beer in the Commons while their constituents turn to foodbanks amid the cost of living crisis.
Tory Lee Anderson, who criticised strugglers and questioned the need for foodbanks, can join his fellow MPs enjoying cheap food and drink as a perk on top of their £84,144 salaries.
In Parliament’s bars and restaurants, a coffee costs 69p, a bacon sandwich £1.70, smoked salmon £2.96, and a pint of lager is £3.56.
