Conservative MP Lee Anderson sparked outrage last week when he claimed that Brits hit by poverty and forced to rely on food banks "cannot budget" and "cannot cook properly", as he stated that it is possible to "cook meals from scratch" for as little as "30p a day".
A top chef has decided to put the MP's recent remarks to the test - and has found them to be "rubbish".
Gareth Mason, 34, slammed the MP's comments as "tone deaf" and set out to prove him wrong by challenging himself to cook up seven basic meals that would fit within the 30p budget, The Mirror reports.
