L

ee Anderson has played down “this poverty nonsense”, insisting the UK is the best country in the world and there was “real poverty” in the 1970s.

The Conservative Party deputy chairman also defended his position and previous comments on food poverty, saying when he was young “we didn’t go on TikTok or Facebook or moan and say: ‘I’ve got no food’”, adding that his family’s philosophy was: “They’re our kids, we’ll feed them.”
