Ashfield MP Lee Anderson says 'our garden was our foodbank' when he grew up in a mining town
"Things were more expensive I think back in the Seventies. Food was definitely more expensive, relatively speaking," he told the podcast.
When challenged that people some parts of the country today would not have a garden to grow vegetables in, he replied: "The point I was making was people were more resourceful when I was growing up as a child. Since then he has found himself at the centre of media storms for his outspoken views on issues such as migrant Channel crossings, his support for the death penalty, and the use of food banks.needed to learn how to cook and budget "properly"He later defended his comments, saying he was glad to have started a "debate" on the issue.
Pressed on whether higher housing costs in places like Barking, a London borough, could lead people on this income to use a food bank, he replied: "Where are they?" His comments earned him a rebuke from Labour MP Fleur Anderson, who accused him of making "provocative statements completely detached from the facts".
