Labour MP blasts protests as 'utterly sickening' after demonstrators pour milk onto floor of Manchester Marks and Spencer
A Labour MP has blasted a string of protests as 'utterly sickening' after demonstrators were filmed emptying cartons of milk onto the floor of a Marks and Spencer.
Sharing video footage of one of the protests staged in an Edinburgh Waitrose, in which demonstrators held up signs reading 'Plant Based Future' as they emptied milk out onto the floor, Labour MP for Denton and Reddish, Andrew Gwynne, branded the act 'utterly sickening' at a time where 'food poverty and foodbank use is rising'.
He wrote: "I don’t care the rights and wrongs of the actual issue… this is criminal damage and in a cost of living crisis where food poverty and Foodbank use is rising, it’s also utterly sickening."
