Sir Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak welcomed the new Labour MP for Tamworth to the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 October, after the Tory candidate for the seat told food bank users to ‘f*** off’.
Andrew Cooper reportedly shared a Facebook post saying that people should only seek help if they give up basics like TV and mobile phone contracts.
“Is the prime minister as relieved as I am that [Tamworth] constituents are not burdened with his defeated candidate who told them… to f-off if they’re struggling with the cost of living?” the Labour leader said.
