Tory MP Lee Anderson has said foodbank users are short of cash because they fritter money on cigarettes, alcohol, expensive TV subscriptions and holidays.
The Ashfield MP, who previously ranted that poor Brits can't budget or "cook properly", said hard-pressed Brits could save cash by ditching treats as households face rising energy bills and double-digit inflation.
It comes after Mr Anderson faced criticism for publishing salary details of one of his aides to further his argument, triggering a wave of online abuse towards the young woman.
