As if 2020 couldn’t get any more farcical, now Jacob Rees-Mogg’s sister has decided to give us oiks some tips on how to budget for our weekly shop.

She tweeted this little nugget of information on how to save some cash to stop us all starving in the post-Brexit dystopia.

“Tesco 1kg potatoes = 83p, 950g own brand chips = £1.35,” she posted on her official Twitter account.

The oft repeated but inaccurate belief that low quality/ unhealthy food is *always* cheaper than raw ingredients is part of the problem. It’s why learning to buy/ budget for food is important alongside learning to cook. https://t.co/P5BFr07fAN

She was replying to a Tweet from a journalist who wanted to see the price of fruit and veg reduced, to allow poorer people to improve their diets.

Until fruit and veg costs less than a bag of supermarket chips, you can't expect struggling households to have healthier diets https://t.co/qMXDB9VB96

Rees-Mogg sparked a backlash on the Twitter with hundreds of comments berating the former Brexit Party MEP as “insensitive” and “privileged”.

These are some of the best reactions…

Until the filthy far right loons which you helped to put in power stop squeezing the pips out of the poor, the disabled, the elderly, the unemployed, then it is stupid to expect them to make 'health choices'. It's not about food prices it's about poverty.

Annunziata Rees-Mogg was born to wealth and educated at the independent Godolphin and Latymer school.

She thinks poor people should live on spuds.

I look forward to the day when her entitled class has had its chips.

Annunziata Rees-Mogg

Take,
– one pinch of unbounded arrogance.
– a plentiful supply of money made by others.
– a modicum of wasted education.
– a limited supply of thought.
– and no consideration.

And there you have it, the perfect aristo.

Dear Annunziata Rees-Mogg,

I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why
But I had to start it somewhere
So it started there
I said, "pretend you've got no money"
She just laughed and said
"Oh you're so funny"
I said "Yeah?
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here?
