Gifts of vegetable baskets and home-made cakes are being sent to squatters living in Ann and Alan Keens' Brentford home.

Public support for the squatters has quickly spread, with people contacting the Hounslow and Brentford Times to pass on gifts to the group.

Duncan Garratt, 45, who lives in South Devon and is sending a homegrown vegetable box, said: “What these two MPs have done is shameful and disgusting. If these squatters were living in someone else’s home it would be very different. But they are not. To me they are heroes.

“These squatters obviously don’t have much money so I thought I would go down my allotment and pick them some cucumbers and carrots. All good homegrown stuff.

“MPs have not only had their snouts in the trough but all four trotters as well and these two are by far the worse, get them out.”

Other gifts being sent include vegetable patties, home-made cakes and onions.
