Anne Widdecombe just continuing Tory mantra of punch down politics.
Don't eat cheese sandwiches if you cannot afford it.
She blames rising inflation on wage rises when that as usual is a complete lie - we are suffering from cost push inflation not demand pull - basic economics either she knows and is lying or so wedded to her stupid beliefs that she thinks all inflation is the wage price spiral.
Ann Widdecombe has told people to not make cheese sandwiches if they cannot afford to buy the ingredients as a way to deal with the ongoing cost of living crisis.
The politician, who is a member of the Reform UK party, was asked what she would advise people faced with the spiralling costs of basic food items on a panel discussing BBC research that showed the price of a homemade cheese sandwich has shot up by a third in the past year to 40p.
On the Politics Live programme, the former Brexit Party MEP said: “You don't do the cheese sandwich.”
She added there was no “given right” to low food prices and spoke of how farmers would “constantly” complain to her about supermarket pricing when she was Conservative MP for Maidstone.
“The only way this is going to be tackled is if inflation is going to come down,” Ms Widdecombe said. “You will not get inflation coming down if you continue to have inflationary wage rises.
