This Times reader’s letter is the perfect last word for that “30p a meal” Tory MP

Latest in an occasional series, newspaper letter of the day goes to Times reader Andrew Davidson from Harleston, Norfolk.

It’s a response to Conservative MP Lee Anderson – you remember – who blamed food poverty on a lack of cooking skills and said nutritious meals could be easily cooked for 30p a time.

It went viral after it was shared by @marrtoffee over on Twitter.

And just in case that’s tricky to read.

Perfectly succinct and to the point.

I suggest it is removed entirely. Use mere mortals have to pay for our own food, why should politicians not have to do the same??

I agree. It’s not like they’re not getting paid already.

Has anyone done a weekly food shop for £2.10 pp? Just wondering.
