During her appearance on the BBC's Politics Live programme, Widdecombe dismissed the notion of a 'given right' to low food prices in response to concerns about parents struggling to feed their children amid the deepening cost of living crisis. Asked how she would respond to consumers who could not afford the basic components of a cheese sandwich, she said: 'Well then you don't do the cheese sandwich.'
