Jack Monroe’s ‘no comment’ response to ’30p a meal’ Tory MP Lee Anderson spoke volumes
You’ll have seen by now the Tory MP Lee Anderson who blamed food poverty on a lack of cooking skills and said nutritious meals could be easily cooked for 30p a time.
“There’s not this massive use for food banks in this country. We’ve got generation after generation who cannot cook properly… they cannot budget”

We mention him again because it prompted lots of broadcasters to get in touch with the ‘Bootstrap cook’ Jack Monroe to share their views on what Anderson had to say.
@BootstrapCook preferred a no comment, albeit a ‘no comment’ that spoke absolute volumes and is worth every word.

Well said, dear Jack. I hope you are taking care of yourself. His words are dreadful, but they can still hurt the heart. 💞
