(satire?)
The number of tabloid journalists relying on food banks to survive has tripled over the last year, according to new figures.
The Trussell Trust, which runs 400 food banks across the UK, said it handed out supplies to three times more reporters working for tabloid newspapers between January and April this year than the whole of last year.
According to Trussell, almost a third of those being helped were freelance journalists on temporary contracts with the Daily Mail, with more than a half saying they desperately needed the handouts in order for their careers to survive.
A cross-party group of MPs has been set up to investigate the surge in demand for food banks from tabloid newspaper correspondents.

meanwhile recent reports from the house of commons/lords canteens show that the amount of Mps/Lords reliant on food handouts continues at the same level as decades. They say that many MPs/lords swarm to their canteen everyday and the amount desperate for essentials like foisgras and sirloin steaks has increased. The commons bar has also released very worrying figures that the demand for subsidised 40 year old malt and bolly remains at an all time high. A source at the dwp has apparently stated that if it continues many MPs will be unable to carry on in their current roles unless they can achieve similar pay and bonuses of senior fortune 500 company directors and bankers. After all he stated if you pay peanuts you get monkeys, if you give a 150% payrise you may get chimps.
