Watch: Jack Monroe claims ‘outright libel’ after Lee Anderson slams her in video

"Lee Anderson making outrageous, libellous statements is he?" tweeted Jack Monroe.

Lee Anderson has waded back into the food bank argument with Jack Monroe.

He previously defended his comments on food banks after saying people use them because they “cannot cook properly” and “cannot budget”.

Lee Anderson invited “everybody” on the opposition benches in the Commons to visit a food bank in his Nottinghamshire constituency where, when people come for a food parcel, they now need to register for a “budgeting course” and a “cooking course”.

Asked by a Labour MP if it should be necessary to have food banks in 21st century Britain, the MP for Ashfield said there is not “this massive use for food banks” in the UK, but “generation after generation who cannot cook properly” and “cannot budget”.

Video

In the new clip Lee Anderson blasts Jack Monroe after she called him a “rich, white privileged male”

He told Martin Dubney: “I’m giving my time & my money to help the people in Ashfield. She’s taking money off some of the most vulnerable in society.”

He then claimed that she has made a lot of money selling books, ‘she is taking money off some of the most vulnerable in society and making an absolute fortune on the back of people. I’m not rich.”

The video has been seen over 700,000 times.

Watch

This clip has caused quite a stir – the point. Once again the Left abuse their opponents, but they are utter snowflakes when you question them. @BootstrapCook – take what you give!

In response, Jack Monroe tweeted: “This is a very clear cut case of outright libel. So far I can see it has 19,300 views. You’d be wise to take it down and fully retract and apologise before you make this any worse for yourselves.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
