Reactions as ’30p’ Lee Anderson is at it again – ‘just when you thought he couldn’t get any lower’

"Just when you thought 30p Lee could sink no lower - he drops the bar even further."

Tory MP Lee Anderson is again making waves on social media. It comes as, along with a list of other controversial events, he invited anti-Brexit campaigner Steve Bray to a boxing match last week.

Now has told the Telegraph drawing on his experience working at his local Citizens Advice Bureau before he became a MP. “We would sit down with a service user and decide why they have the use of a food bank. In a lot of cases, it was people who had relationship breakdowns, or a sudden illness or disability or whatever, a sudden change in circumstances. There is nothing wrong with that.” 

He then said often found people were spending money on luxuries they simply did not need. “In a lot of cases these people were just wasting money on fags and booze and non essentials, non priority debts, Sky TV or Virgin Media.

“There was a lot of money they could save. There were takeaways, holidays. In this world, you don’t have the automatic right to have all the nice things in life. You have to work for them and you have to pay for them.” 

The Tories have made food banks an every day essential for millions. Instead of addressing the problem and wiping out the need for foodbanks, 30p Lee would rather gloat & sell stories! https://t.co/VWVGuZXkf5

Then there was this tweet from the man himself this morning. He shared today’s Daily Mail front page and wrote: “Over half the households in Britain get more from the state than they pay in tax…while the top 10% of earners account for 53% of all income tax. We cannot have less than 50% of the population supporting the majority. It’s just not fair.”

NOTE TO LEE – Your Government policies created this need – get off your backsides and deal with the issues creating them#ToriesOut199 #SunakOut90 #GeneralElectionNow https://t.co/7lzYljL1oT

Does this fool even understand how food banks work? You need a referral from a professional (GP, HV, SW etc) and there is a limit to the number of referrals a person have in any time period (usually 3 per month). The boxes contain basics – not luxuries. People aren't 1. https://t.co/VGuNEyOhzA

The amount of Food Banks in 🇬🇧 has been normalised by a deceitful horrible Tory Government! The Tories have enabled poverty and destitution…….they are a disgusting bunch! 🤥🤡💩😡

Perhaps 30p Lee could tell Nadhim Zahawi, Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak how to get by without being millionaires…

I think 30p Lee make a good case for him and other MP's to be receiving no more than min wage. He has proved he can live on less so lets take him at his word. Things in politics need to change, I suggest we start with their wages and personal expenses.

Would Lee Anderson like to comment on the budgeting skills of someone who is paid more than £160k, lives in free accommodation, pays nothing for travel, gets subsidised food at work and gourmet meals delivered free to his home and yet still needs an £800,000 loan?

My office is one of the biggest referral agencies for food banks in our area, yes that's right people have to be referred to most foodbanks. When we refer we gather data on that referral for the foodbank therefore we know quite a lot about it. Does Lee Anderson do this for his? https://t.co/TZ38jU0RQV

Or indeed this?

Strange that 30p Lee says nothing about Johnson not being able to survive on six digit salary
