A Tory frontbencher has been branded "out of touch" after saying people struggling to afford food should "consider working more hours" or get a higher-paid job.
Environment Secretary Therese Coffey made the "appalling" remark after being challenged in the House of Commons over the number of people using foodbanks.
Labour MP Rachael Maskell said that with food inflation estimated at 16.8% in the year to January, foodbanks in her York constituency are struggling to help hard-hit families.
