Michael Dugher MP, Labour’s Shadow Minister for the Cabinet Office, responding to David Cameron’s comments on “supermarket sociology”, said:

“Families are on average £1,600 a year worse off since David Cameron became Prime Minister. Most families understandably have to shop around and watch every penny because of the cost-of-living crisis, plus very many people increasingly have to rely on foodbanks.  This is a world away from that of David Cameron. 

"There’s nothing wrong enjoying shopping at Waitrose. But Cameron seems to be saying that at Waitrose you get a better class of shopper. 

"This is a bizarre and empty-headed intervention from a prime minister who increasingly gives the impression of being stuck-up and out of touch.”
