I'm a chef and there's nothing really I can't cook, I live on a small budget now I'm retired. I used to shop with a budget of £1 per head per main meal so with 3 kids it was a fiver a day, that was 10 years ago. Today prices have more than doubled, my 3 kids have left home so it's just me and my other half and I struggle to keep the main meals to under a fiver. What 30p Lee doesn't take into account is not just price of the basic ingredients in a recipe of meat and veg, but it's the ancillary costs around that meal of seasonings, spices, fats and indeed the energy to cook it. I buy when meat is on special offer and stock up the freezer, I batch cook to save on fuel and freeze meals but this last few months I've seen my basic grocery bill rise from around 50 to 80 quid a week. I buy the cheapest brands I only use fresh vegetables and today I'm struggling because my income has not risen but every other bill has. My sister who retired 2 years ago has seen her fuel bill rise from 50 to 300 quid a month and then after Truss destroyed the confidence in the markets saw her mortgage double to over £1000 per month. That's an extra £750 a month she has to find and she doesn't have it! How many others are in the same boat? Trying to justify his party's destruction of people's living standards by telling people they can have a weetabix and some milk for 30 pence he can just feck off and do one. What a complete wanker. 😡
Truth!!!
Bless you!
I think the average price for just one weetabix is 17p so if you can live on just one, only have a small splash of milk and nothing else, like fruit or sugar for taste, then yeah. 30p could be about right, but that's a child's portion, if they can stand it plain, can eat wheat and tolerate cow's milk. Then factor in the milk going off, if you don't use it up quickly enough, so that's a new pint to start...and the cost of electricity to keep the fridge on....oops... 30p Lee is a f**king disgrace. If he at least tried to practice what he preaches he could gain some level of respect, but he's a typical Tory hypocrite.
The best bit of this comment are your 2 final sentences. Everything else you said helps people understand how much people are struggling. This isn't about budgeting better, this is simply about the government acting like the Mafia.
Have you tried gruel? You can make a batch that'll last for days for a few quid and it tastes better when it's been in the pot overnight. All your kids will be asking "please sir, can I have some more?" If you serve them it for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
Thank you for this comment. I come from a large family, raised by a single mother through Thatcher war on single mother’s in the 80’s. I was taught to budget, batch cook and all the other money saving tips my mother and other passed on to me. I then went on to work in restaurants and picked up even more money saving tips. I’m single and due to a auto immune condition can no longer work, (most employers, and I don’t blame them, want people they rely on) so I’m on the UC with a bit extra for being unwell. I often struggle to feed myself because of the price rises at the moment. This man seems to have no grasp of how inflation works.
A guy that gets the taxpayers to pay for his food, hundreds of thousands of pounds he's spent on expenses. This country is utterly ridiculous.
Well said, that's true. It's disgusting. They don't understand because they've never been there.
👏👏👏👏👏
He's a real piece of work. He has one of the highest staff turnovers out of Parliament, 7th worst out of 650 MPs
Really indicates what a vile person he must be to be around
a very depressing country, i would imagine lots are offing themselves.
He is a total scrounger
You know what's horrible? We have this system now where completely mediocre people, without any discernible talent or skill, are elected to high office and called in to formulate policy that affect millions of people. These people are completely dependent on government salaries and hand-outs, and wouldn't do a normal job if their lives depended on it. Truly shameful...
I said the very same thing yesterday to my 17 yo daughter!!!
Yes, you can become a cabinet minister for Heath, and have no qualifications or experience
Or, become a cabinet minister for the environment, once again not qualified in any way.
Or, each of the inept MPs playing musical chairs - running areas of the country, for which they are completely out of their depth.
Stop voting Tory and Labour then. Its the only way to get rid of them.
Absolutely we've been dummed down to the vulgar basic level of the tories who created a damaged under class brutalised the people of this country and then stand in judgment of the victims it created , disgusting.
Perfect description of the insanity we're forced to endure as right wing media props this sh!t show up rather than tell the audience facts
@@nightlordAL Right wing media? Are you sure lol. Ever watched the BBC? The media is totally owned and its by globalists not "right wingers". The people protesting illegal immigration are not far right they're normal citizens.
There is something inherently disgusting about a man who, on top of his £80k salary, claims £200k of taxpayers money to cover his expenses, telling people all their problems can be solved by just budgeting better.
Labour or Tory they are all p i g s with their heads in the trough
@left_blank he doesn’t claim that, IPSA does, 170k was for staffing, staff and office costs, but £10k on accommodation and £4K on travel is ridiculous, he’s MP for Ashfield, not Shetland
@left_blank yeah sorry, but does that mean he can claim it was for staffing when it was actually for something else?
Look into the man's past besides judge the merit not the robes of an idea or concept.
@left_blank Yeah sure, I was just thinking that very rarely would Lee need to be claiming a hotel, he’s only 90 minutes from London by train
A foodbank is NOTHING like a weekly shop, most food banks don't have FRIDGES. We can't reason with this level of stupidity, delusion and denial, this conutry is officially screwed
He's like the most gammony boomer that ever boomered.
It's complicated isn't it? I agree he's being simplistic but it's also simplistic to think that every parent is doing a good job raising their children. I grew up in 'poverty' however my father was an alcoholic and gambler. No amount of government support was going to fix that. I perfectly understand why we give kids breakfast and support doing so but I can't go 100% the other way and accept that no poverty is self-created.
@phillip franks extra calories according to 30p Lee.

Boris Johnson said £250k a year is "chicken feed" so it all makes sense.

He's absolutely full of it. His massive expenses claims would suggest that he doesn't know how to budget. He loves a handout.

He's spending taxpayers money and you can bet your life he's not eating for 30 pence a meal.

"There is a myth in this country that people on UC are in poverty" it is in fact destitution.
The non-myth: there are Tory politicians who fully support cronyism when awarding gov't contracts, and who cheat on their expenses. Myth: greed, corruption and dishonourable
Don't forget the increase in homelessness, thanks Tory CnNTS!
universal credit went up 12 quid a month last year. whilst inflation is still over 10%. so Universal credit was actually cut 7%
@@opinion8ted and dont forget state pension is more than double universal credit. to be fair 70% of pensioners voted for boris so i have little sympathy for most of them, just the ones who werent so gullible.
So...food banks are fine, but the people who use them only have themselves to blame? Or something like that.
One can view this man’s expenses he claimed last year at double his already large annual salary… all while standing up arguing people on £85 a week are milking the system…
Well said, you speak the truth! Enough is enough.
Ashfield MP Lee Anderson claimed £219,703.44 as business costs from 2020 to 2021 - bringing his office, staffing, accommodation, travel and subsistence claims higher than the average £203,880 claimed by MPs. His biggest cost was on staffing at £165,215.27, followed by £33,144.30 on office costs and £17,650.60 on accommodation.
@@isabellewhite3505 it's just unbelievable...as a people, as a nation...why have we allowed to go on for so long, it's immoral!
@@TheLuminousOne . So, the MP who bought a litre of milk and a packet of cereal demonstrated to those on benefits how to manage.
This is utterly condescending! He thinks he has been a revelation to those who know how to be frugal.
Meanwhile, his £84k pa salary isn't enough for him to get by, so he claimed an addl' £219k!
So, it is immoral and incompetent for those on the breadline to use food banks... AND for those on low incomes to accept U/Credit paid for by the taxpayers.
Somehow, he feels he is justified in not living within his means, but it's OK to claim more than double his annual salary - paid for by the very same taxpayers. Another duplicitous, arrogant, and inept Tory politician.
@@TheLuminousOne They're good at playing to people's fears and prejudices when it counts.

Brilliant quote I'll using that

What an absolute “Jeremy Hunt”
Yes a Grade A 2hat
No..why do you want to be given everything?
@@homewithemma42 Let 30p Lee talk. He gets more votes for Labour than anyone.
I am a therapist in London and i saw clients that were disabled denied benefit for 2 months during the introduction of UC. During that time they were found fit for work by untraianed non-medical staff who were paid an insentive to cut benefit. As a result these people starved, became housebound and had breakdowns because of being gas-lit over their disabilities. Consecutive conservative governments have failed in their duty of care of our most vulnerable citizens. The people who are wasting our tax money is your mate rishi with stuff like eat out to help out (which by the way spread COVID).
Witnessed this first hand with my disabled father. Assessed as fit to work by an obnoxious sociopath clearly smitten with this disgusting Tory ideology. Six months later he was taken into full time care!
Ah, no. Conservative governments in the UK and US have shown that they weren't elected to serve. They're only to themselves and theirs mates get richer.
The fact he keeps mentioning he's not bothered about being called 30p lee is enough evidence for me to think it definitely bothers him
It's because he knows in less than a year that's all anyone will remember him for
Difference between people like Jack Munro, Jamie Oliver and 30p Lee is that Lee is in Government and has the power to help change poverty in Britain. But chooses not to and instead allow his colleagues to spaff money on useless contracts (like the PPE ones given to tory friends) all while getting paid 86K a year and having all his food, heating and power subsidised by tax payers.
£30000 for working a few hours is not a common opportunity. A piece of toast is not a breakfast.
The PM appointed this man to be deputy chairman of the Tory party. That tells you all you need to know about the present state of things in the Conservative leadership. They have such contempt for the average voter that they let this awful " man of the people " out to spread his lies and hate throughout the country. He ought to come with a health warning.
Its so the torys can convince the working class they too can be rich boys
And that’s why Sunak is as much of a shyster as Johnson was.Sunak try’s to portray himself as a DECENT TORY, who quit as Chancellor, because he didn’t agree with the behaviour of his former boss, Boris Johnson.Yet look at the sort of bullying characters he surrounded himself with.Braverman,Patel,Anderson,Raab,Williamson,Zahawi.A weak man,a weak leader.That sums Rishi Sunak to a T.😼
The problem is that this "professional political elite" won't change if Labour gets in. You could replace Lee with Wes Streeting and not be able to tell the difference besides a slight change in accent...
There's always something sickening about any politician claiming people in poverty can solve their problems by better budgeting, as they themselves get free meals, paid expenses, and a significant salary - whether they are bleating on about how people on benefits are scroungers or whatever.
The biggest parasites are the politicians and their mates, but you never see them talking about slashing their own perks when it comes responsibility for "tax payers money"...
'30p' Lee is nothing more than a political turncoat(ex long time Labour man) who I would not trust to brush my path. He obviously enjoys the trappings of the wealth(and expenses) that comes with being a member of the Tory party and is now taking the mick out of the rest of us. I would love to see Gordon Ramsay interview him about costings for producing meals, I'm sure Gordon would put him straight on a few matters in between expletives!
I bet the arseholes in Westminster won't need universal credit when they get booted out of power as I and many others in this country hope and pray they they get booted out of power .evil Tory cunt
So 30p per meal, so that's 90p a day a family of 4 that's £3.60 a day, £25.50 a week (if everyday this gruel was cooked in a batch for 200 families that is, if not we are tripling the cost). Without factoring in transport, electricity, gas, equipment to cook and the lack of nutrients being exceptionally damaging to young children of course. What a wonderful world Lee Anderson wants us to live in.
You don't need gas/electric if you have furniture to burn.
He never stops punching down does he. To all those people who believe him when he's blaming people who've no money or power, instead of the rich people who influence all the decisions. You're being played.
👍🏾
People who have no money are either stupid or lazy. End of story. Plenty of kids come from shitty backgrounds and still earn £50k/year, then they save and invest.
But they started off trying hard in school. All these people you are talking about were too lazy to get As in school. That's why they are where they are.
Anyone who didn't even get AAB in their A-levels is an utter moron and deserves what they get.
It would be so wonderful if life was as simple as he thinks.
Well he only has a simple mind so how could he be expected to think non simple things.
Basic concrete thinkers.
I had to endure the Jeremy Vine show earlier and they were talking about getting prisoners to do the farm work, the Eastern Europeans don't bother coming to do since Brexhit (whilst not mentioning Brexit once) as a money saving idea. I thought, what a load of boll0x. I wonder which far right news outlet thought of this cr@p and who should pop up?.. 30p Lee!! The panel (including Owen Jones) and callers decided it was probably a good idea, if they were maybe payed minimum wage. Not once did anyone mention the cost of guarding a bunch of prisoners in fields. It would cost a fortune!
Aye ! If only rainwater were beer !
He's a nasty, nasty man.. 😳🙄 He lacks decency and humanity demonising people who are struggling.
They're struggling because of him
Well, he IS a tory...
👍🏾
Fits the Tory job description like a glove
"....in these deprived areas" There's nothing more obnoxious than politicians - especially politicians whose policies have massively contributed to that deprivation - sticking the boot into people struggling. I'm now a pensioner, and have watched stunts like 30p Lee's turn up like clockwork when distractions from abysmal governance are required. He recently stated that the Tories require "culture wars and trans debate" to fight the next election - so nothing but more divisiveness, then? They're always worst politicians, who've done f-all to improve the lot of the country at large, rooting for grubby points from their peers, Daily Mail and Spectator readers. They always have a retinue of helpers and publicists - in this case a chef, no less! The blazing hypocrisy of Lee mentioning Jack Monroe, being as she launched an action against him for claiming she profits from the poor. Jack: referring to her own budget recipes etc "Why do people need these in the first place?" There are 15 million people in vulnerable housing, rocketing homelessness and plummeting health outcomes for children in one of the richest economies in the world. But Lee Anderson, who is both paid for AND massively subsidised by the taxpayer, and his party remain staunchly shameless about their gargantuan failures.
It will never cease to appall me how so many people are okay with children being hungry
The issue is that people shouldn't have to try and budget down to 30p per meal.
Exactly! They need to get out there and earn more...
Don't forget when this man talks about examples, he was caught faking doorstep exchanges. Also as he is ex-labour he has to double down on the Tory side, got to show he's a loyal foot soldier. As you can tell by how many times he refers to himself as a tory.
He was mentioning the family who would go to the food bank multiple times a week and then was seen at Mcdonald's doing the same thing-- and that sounded completely made up out of thin air.
I'm just sick of his drab voice, droning on about his tedious theories. Jesus! Shut him up!
Bought a pint of milk this morning cost me 95p box of weetabix is 2.50 so he's argument is redundant

Think your milk will be 'off' within the week. You'll need to buy another pint mate
They did five meals for a family for fifty pound , well done . Call me stupid but I always thought there were seven days in a week .
Weekends don't count apparently.
Is he assuming people should only eat once day as well!!!
People working minimum wage jobs have 40 pound a day to live on. This man is an absolute tosser.
@@bereal6590 Turnips one day and gruel the next.
I thought that too. But since he can't handle his own expenses with any skill maybe the problem is he can't count? Back to school, Lee!
Oh God I can’t stand this man and he’s my local MP 😢 also to add it’s not just people on universal credit struggling. It’s hard for all of us especially families on just above the threshold for UC. All children should get free school meals. I wonder which school in Ashfield it was though that he went to. Wasn’t my kids’ one as they charge for breakfast club as wrap around childcare. If Lee struggles to understand poverty so much then he shouldn’t be an MP. He obviously doesn’t realise how expensive gas , electric and food are and he doesn’t know about the fruit and veg shortage!
Get everyone you know to register to vote.
That's the only way you'll rid yourself of him.
Do it for everyone in poverty that he demeans.
He's a straight talking 'man of the people' , ain't he ! ......all bollocks of course .
Why do you vote this kind of people as your MP??
It’s in your hands, vote him out.
He doesn't even mention esa jsa or the disabled or single people. He is shameful
Nice one Lee, let’s amend the food allowance for all MPs to £50 a week…as if they even deserve to have any allowance for food at all.
These people are so unbelievably out of touch. The point is, people have not been concerned about the cost of eating for decades, at least not on this scale.
Saying you can make a meal for 30p to avoid the issue isn’t helping anyone. This will continue getting more severe if the government doesn’t make serious changes to our society. Perhaps once it was homeless or very low income individuals couldn’t eat, then it moved to lower mid, and now clearly impacting the mid-earning households.
The issue is that costs will never increase enough for it to have any impact on the elite/decision makers in this country because they are just so much wealthier and represent such a tiny proportion of the population. On this trajectory, more than half the country will soon be concerned about feeding themselves before long.
7 days, 2 meals a day, 30p a meal? £4:20 not £50!!
(With a swede costing 90p at the local Co-op how do I get 3 Coffey approved meals from something the size and texture as a cricket ball?)
This was identified 40 years ago when we were under the heel of Thatcher. It was said then by social commentators that nothing would happen until it affected the middle classes who have voices and know how to manipulate public thinking. Lee Anderson is just the type to rile these people into action.
8:02 how creepy is that Lee Anderson is stalking one of his local families. Otherwise how else does he know how often they go to the food bank and to McDonalds. My 🐂💩detector is bleeping loudly
If only the pond containing the primordial slime had dried up before it managed to evolve into this Conservative Unionist National Treasure.

To be fair you can hardly expect the poor guy to survive on 30p can you, let’s not be ridiculous eh?
@@sambentham7799 . I suggest that he is prevented from claiming any expenses this year.
In fact, he should lead by example. So do not collect his £84k pa either.
He should live on £15,000 for 12 months and show to those that he is speaking down to - just how to survive.
I'll be happy for him to load his daily videos of this person, queuing up at food banks - because, maybe, just maybe he wouldn't be able to sustain 30p a day for 365 days. Just a thought......
Means-test MPs.
30p per meal allowance too.
that recording of hiim threatening media and of having a friend posing as a swing voter will never go away he is a horrible person put in place because he sounds common enough to bridge the gap to the working class as Sunak is so far separated from anyone that didnt go to Oxford
I don't say this lightly, this man may well be one of the most disgusting, inhumane, and callous MPs in parliament today. And that's up against some stiff competition! Utterly vile! The sort of man who, if it were still legal today, would happily condone slavery and sweatshops and not give those suffering a second thought.
His latest idea, according to the Jeremy Vine show earlier is prisoners working in the fields, in chain gangs, to save money on labor. (Nothing to do with Brexit obviously..) The panel, including Owen Jones, decided it was a good idea but the prisoners should maybe be paid minimum wage. Nobody mentioned the cost of guarding the slaves.
Apparently the reason they won't abscond is because the parole board, or something or other..
Yet he serves as a vivid reminder of how conservatives REALLY think about the average working person.
I know exactly what you mean, such an ugly soul.
This video puts him on record literally suggesting that we enslave prison inmates in harvesting gangs. Great idea mate, let's go the US way, and build a prison industrial complex that literally makes our economy dependent on a high incarceration rate
I would like to challenge that chef to cook meals for a family of four on £50 a week which has to include the cost of gas and electricity to store and cook the food not over a year ago but today
it’s pretty easy.

I'm starting to think there's an IQ cap for ministers.
Yes hunt the brain cell Lee Anderson
His sadistic hobby of finding things to eat for 30p knows no bounds. By his calculation, that £50 would provide 166 meals for his stockpile. I'd like to see him live on those 166 meals consecutively. Plus, he wouldn't be able refrigerate them as BoJo is squatting in the fridge.
Have we gone back in time to the Victorian Era?

He should look into the actual amount people on Universal credit get. As per government our website it is no where near 30k a year.

Well lots of people (millions) fiddle the system. It's not good to just rely on being given everything.
@@homewithemma42 indeed, so are you upset about MP's expenses then emma?
50 quid over a week is £7.14. Three meals a day is £2.38 average meal for a family of four that’s 60p each . Not 30p. Then we factor fuel to cook, electricity to run the fridge/ freezer. Etc. so how does he come up with 30p. Looks like he needs to go back to maths classes.
If you only eat twice then it’s 90p per head.
He really has no idea, like many in the Westminster bubble. Every MP needs to spend a day in the life of someone living on minimum wage and struggling to cope with any unexpected bill or the swingeing increase in costs of basics. The cost of living crisis affects those at the bottom end most, as a higher proportion of their money is spent on the bare essentials with no way to make cuts.
It should be our next election process
Freeze all his accounts and property and than let him live few months on minimal income. Shameless disgusting caricature of man.
I like how he left the biggest whopper until the very end when he talks about being called 30p Lee: "It don't matter to me".

Just to clarify, one of Jack Monroe's meals might only cost 24p per person but you'd have to spend £14 on ingredients and then only use some of it, it also doesn't factor in the travel to shop and the internet/PC /electricity needed to get the recipe or the power to cook it and then all you end up with is a small plate of spaghetti with a bit of cheese and basil on it.
You can't eat Turnip Surprise for every meal. You'd become psychotic.
Just a reminder, please ensure you are registered to vote and have looked into getting voter ID so these people do not strip that vote from you. Let's get these despicable wastes of space out of office for good.

You can tell Lee was a miner, he likes digging holes for himself.
He's a scabby miner mush
Probably ate the Canary because it's not an expensive meal
And a scab
First class Deluded politician right there 👏
I'm betting he couldn't back up any of his clsims
Ashfield MP Lee Anderson claimed £219,703.44 as business costs from 2020 to 2021 - bringing his office, staffing, accommodation, travel and subsistence claims higher than the average £203,880 claimed by MPs. His biggest cost was on staffing at £165,215.27, followed by £33,144.30 on office costs and £17,650.60 on accommodation.
Can we get the recipe for the 30p a meal?
It would be interesting to what that looks like
Or tastes like 🤮
It was made in a huge mass batch probably discount ting the spices oils and energy and storage and freezer running costs. Also WHY should people be in poverty!!!!
It's easy. All you have to do is get most of your food donated. Just ask 30p and he'll sort you a pot to cook it in and the electric to use that pot..
1 x Weetabix bar with no nutrition, and one cup of milk with no nutrition. 3 meals a day like that and I would give you a week.
I bought about 13 spices in those little jars the other day and it came to 20 odd quid.
Would be interesting not to see who can do these meals, but see what the actual meals look like.
And good point on the electric, capital and operational expenses.
30p Lee: “I don’t matter to me”… but I am still got to mention it over and over. 🤣
Oh hilarious! Grammar deprivation, combined with a minus zero EQ, and a very challenging paltry IQ in mere double figures!!
If he believes its a budgeting problem I guess he wouldn't mind explaining his huge expenses claims?
Lee would be on his knees after a week of purely on UC.. If he blvd his words let him sit in a bedsit, no electric, nor money in the bank nor food then let him apply for UC and let him prove what he professes to blv.. Livestream it and proceeds go to Poverty Charities..
Politicians use Westminster like its a social club.
Subsidised food, subsidised booze. They have no shame.
Prison workers who is going to transport these 90000 prisoners daily and safely supervise them.
Struggle to answer because when you are talking to an idiot sometimes it's better to just ignore them.
You have to get referred to a foodbank and it's only for a temporary period. Has anyone visited 30p Lee's amazing foodbank in his constituency to witness this loaves and fishes modern day miracle.
This guy has such a holier than thou attitude towards those unfortunate souls who, probably through no fault of their own, have fallen short of where they ought to be. What he should be thinking and therefore saying is, "There but for the grace of God go I!"
“There is a myth that people on Universal Credit are in poverty.”
Mate, yo, omg, I would love to do nothing more than recommend a book to you, it’s a little book called The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists.
😠 Indeed. Reading Robert Tressell’s book as a teenager set me on the road to Socialism. As did A J Cronin’s ‘The Citadel’ which described the health provision pre 1948 and the founding of the National Health Service.
30p Lee is too polite for him. What I'd call him isn't printable.
If people who are in work were paid living wages they would not need to use food banks. Why are businesses allowed to get away with paying wages that are below inflation and do not cover the cost of living?
Ive stopped being surprised and shocked for a long time by how clueless and out of touch members of this government are .... But this guy is absolutely something else .
Lee Anderson just doesn't 'get it ' does he ? We're supposed to be a rich First World Country......things like foodbanks shouldn't be a thing .
How on earth is he able to see a family go to McDonald's 2-3 times a week?! This guy is clearly a liar amongst other things 🙄
He probably knew the family he was ‘delivering’ food too. Like that man, when he was campaigning to become an MP.
We need to lower the wages of MPs and abandon the expenses allowance. Perhaps than we will get people in, who really want to do the job for the sake of serving the public and not there for the money.
That 11p "meal" that Jack Monroe created was actually a DIP... ffs.
"You'll never get anywhere in this life, unless you're prepared to do a fair days work for a fair days pay".
"Work Sets You Free"
"you will have nothing and be happy"
@@dondoodat from what.
Hard Work is what horses die of.
My wife volunteers at our local food bank. The majority of people who attend genuinely need help. There’s always one or two chancers. People like 30p lee should really get their heads out of their arses and start solving the problems. It’s disgusting that in this day and age working families can’t afford to live or feed the kids. Rant over.
Every Food bank is a blot of shame on the conscience of this nation; every person sleeping rough is a condemnation of the politicians with their second houses.
Now I can see why people voted for him 🤣
Anyones argument that starts "when aaaaaah were a lad" they've already lost because it highlights how they don't understand the world as it is not as it was
All I could here over the top of this tripe is Oliver twist and the rest of the work house singing wood glorious food as they are served 30p Lees Gruel.
Gruel?! No no no! That's far too rich and expensive for the scum. They'd never appreciate such luxury....low fat, low fibre, low content, low cost, low taste, imitation gruel is the thing! It's basically warm pond water with a cobweb floating on top....
This dude is probably how plantation owners and directors of East India Company might have looked like.

Why should schools rely on donations, when we know that the young do better in school if they healthy and well fed.
we need to spread the word everywhere this guy is deputy chairman of the tory party!!! he is not some random backbencher his successful position means the vast majority of the tory party fully agree with and support everything he is saying!!!!! we need to run a campaign next election saying live on weetabix and bread that is the tory message!!!
When it comes to finances he's like a child, he really doesn't understand any of it.
We should stop paying more than 25 thousand a year no more just that .watching from Scotland peace and love to all
Surely, he is misrepresenting it as a "loop-hole" where in fact the Universal Cesit is "topping-up" effectively low pay. Perhaps, the obvious solution is to force companies to pay more so people won't need universal credit?
Just lee Anderson saying it how it is
Aye! 30p talks some sound sense, happen. Only wish there were 649 others t'like 'im.
Can someone tell me who tf can get 30grand on uc? Even w rent n everything the most our family cud get wen I was ill was 12 leaving us 3 in debt for the yr
this guy is the most dangerous guy in politics right now
Anderson "why would I fix a systemic issue when you can just work harder"
Does he not know how m ch milk costs? Cereal ain't cheap anymore for breakfast.
Notice all he uses is rambling anecdotes that sound made up on the spot, he doesn't use statistics or data he just makes up a story to pretend he's on the correct side.
Since when was everyone on UC claiming 30 to 40k a year. Also, how much was the cost to hire a top chef to walk around with him?!
It's more like £4k a year.
@@dsgrbrowne1 🤣😂 yeah, in your dreams they do
He is factually correct. People on UC can get a lot in housing benefit, UC, free school meals, child benefit etc, in total 40K for a household
@@LonerWeirdo just the housing benefit for a 4 bed in inner london is 593.75 per week. This is 30,875 per annum. And that is not including universal credit, which is about 300 per person, including up to 2 children, that's another 10K
@@davidcooks2379 well said! 👍
Did he really quote 30p for Weetabix? 30pLee strikes again
and a pint of milk
I assume he wants people to use water rather than milk.
Brilliant guy, rare for a politician speaks the truth
I do understand what he is saying- education with money and cooking from scratch. Fruit and veg is cheap you can make good meals. It’s a short term fix and universal credit shouldn’t be a long term fix for a family. People need to take responsibility for themselves not rely on governments so much.
When I went to school we got free Milk & some got dinners Thatcher stopped it then a rise in diabetes ?I call him 6 BOB NOB
Maybe the UK should cut down on military spending and support free school meals; lunch and breakfast.
Why are food banks not just giving out basic nutritional ingredients. Biscuits and cakes and sweets are not necessity.
If it’s complete rubbish that fresh food is too expensive why are so many restaurants closing?
"All these people whinging about food poverty. We've got 50 billion insects in this country, but these families are too proud to eat them.
I challenge anyone to come down to Ashford and join one of our insect cookery classes. We teach people how to cook some right nice nice meals on a budget. Spider kebab skewers. Stir fried centipede...
Don't knock it until you've tried it and don't claim to live in true poverty until you've gotten a few spiders down yas."
I picked up a 30p pack of noodles today ... After cooking them, my smart meter registered that my 30p pack of noodles cost me £2.20 to cook... Welcome to tory Britain
So why are we subsidising MP meals in Parliament.
