I’M APPALLED, though not entirely surprised, to see Mims Davies joining the latest Tory PR photo op doing the rounds, highlighting the greatness of local food banks.
Food banks do a fantastic job, no question, but the very fact that they are in such great demand, as a direct result of punitive Conservative welfare reforms, is sickening.
Turning up at the supermarket a couple of times a year just doesn’t cut it. If she really wanted to help those in need then she would do something to reverse the hideous policies that her government enforces.
