A top Tory MP has been slammed after claiming Brits are struggling for cash because they are hooked on cigarettes.
Sir Robert Goodwill, chair of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs committee, also said people need to budget and stop getting takeaways.
This comes as the UK faces a cost of living crisis, with food prices rising by 2.3 per cent in just one month.
