Polling shows ’30p Lee Anderson’ is on track to lose his seat by a whopping margin

It comes after the Tory MP said food bank use has gone up because of people who "cannot cook properly" and "cannot budget".

The latest polling numbers show Lee Anderson is on track for a humbling defeat in the next general election.

The MP for Ashfield provoked outrage earlier this year after he invited “everybody” on the opposition benches in the House of Commons to visit a food bank in his constituency where, when people come for a food parcel, they now need to register for a “budgeting course” and a “cooking course”.

He claimed food bank users are shown how to cook meals for “about 30 pence a day”.

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

According to IPSA data, 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.

He is on track for a humbling in the next election, with polling data suggesting there could be a huge swing to Labour.

Take a look at the latest numbers below:

Since you are here

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.
