    Like a broken record. Out of touch. No empathy. A complete waste of oxygen.

    He’s already checked out and thinking of his Californian mansion and his tax free lifestyle. Not sure why he even bothered showing up.

    "I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who supports a food bank." No one disputes the decency of people who run and support foodbanks, but the fact that we have to have them is a national disgrace, brought on by this disgusting government.

    Charity is replacing a basic social safety net. This is disgusting.
  • @DeeHerb
    "Food Banks" should never have happened 😡
  • @czgibson3086
    The Tories deserve to be totally unelectable for generations to come after the damage they've done to this country.
  • @phil637
    Foodbanks are doing your job Rishi !
  • @g1fcg
    You are trying to communicate with the one who’s bankrupted the country, had the national grid extended to heat his pool and asked a homeless guy in a soup kitchen what ‘business was he in’!!
  • @rufus1346
    His children will be growing up in America, so no national service then.
  • @heleneccles4883
    Just shows you how bad a state thre country is in having food banks. Disgusting.
  • @Beanscf9ep
    I remember when Corbyn said he wanted to eliminate food banks and people thought he wanted to take away food from poor people.
  • @jonathankirk313
    Just remember, every time a tory says 'cut taxes' they mean 'cut services'.
