Users of a food bank cooking school were given gifts for “behaving for the newspapers” to spare Tory Lee Anderson’s blushes after his embarrassing rant about food poverty, the Sunday Mirror has been told.
Ashfield MP Lee Anderson was branded “disgraceful” and “crass” last month after he appeared to blame food poverty on a lack of cooking and budgeting skills.
He claimed there is not a “massive use for food banks” in the UK, adding there was “generation after generation who cannot cook properly” and “cannot budget”.
