The manager of an overstretched food bank has launched a scathing attack on politicians, accusing them of being out of touch with the growing poverty crisis in the UK.
"They don't understand what's happening on the ground," the food bank boss said, describing how demand has skyrocketed while donations struggle to keep pace.
The Growing Crisis
Families who never imagined needing food banks are now queuing for essentials, with many forced to choose between heating and eating. "We're seeing professionals, working parents, and pensioners - people who've paid taxes all their lives," the manager explained.
Political Indifference
The food bank operator expressed frustration at Westminster's response: "When politicians visit, they're shocked. But where's the action? We need systemic change, not just photo opportunities."
With winter approaching, fears are growing that the situation will worsen. "Our shelves are emptier than ever before," the manager warned, calling for urgent government intervention to address the root causes of poverty.
