Health secretary Victoria Atkins’ weird food bank flex had people bellowing into next week
Over to health secretary Victoria Atkins, now, where she was talking with Sky News presenter Kay Burley about the number of food banks she has in her constituency.
Not necessarily a source of pride, you might have thought. Well, think again, suckers!

Well, yes.
Victoria Atkins, we asked 100 people for a word they associate with a huge rise in the need for food banks and debt counsellors.
You said “privilege”… pic.twitter.com/jGvBcTI7pQ

Had to rewatch this a few times to believe what I heard said.
Health Minister Victoria Atkins, saying what a privilege it is to have not just one but a number of these food banks in her constituency.
How about embarrassed, shamed, there should be NONE.

And no-one said it better than spoof former Tory MP, Sir Michael Take.
If it wasn’t for us Conservatives we wouldn’t have food banks.
