An ex-MP has questioned breakfast foods giant Kellogg's over its use of a monkey and "white boys" on cereal boxes, suggesting it is racist.
Fiona Onasanya, who was jailed for lying to police about speeding, spoke about her concerns on Twitter.
"So I was wondering why Rice Krispies have three white boys representing the brand and Coco Pops have a monkey?", the former Peterborough MP wrote.
Kellogg's said the company "stands in support of the black community".
Ms Onasanya, who was expelled from the Labour Party and lost her seat in Parliament in 2019, wrote on Twitter that she had emailed Kellogg's about her concerns, but had not had a reply.

“Do I care whats on a CEREAL BOX?”
As long as I don’t see my picture on the “Have you seen” side of the milk cartoon, I’m happy to know I haven’t inadvertently walked away from the senior care center.
What a nightmare that creature is!
Shes a goof but a representative of the victim class. I will say that I think going to jail for lying about speeding is kinda ridiculous. We all should be in jail with her. Lol. Shes still a nasty person.
The city council is already talking about it, and a petition is circulating. Read it a few days ago.

Snap, Crackle, and Pop are elves, not white boys. The characters were originally gnome like but over time were redesigned to look more like human beings.
There was a fourth elf in the 50’s named Pow. Maybe Pow could be brought back as a black elf. Not sure how that would go over, though.
Lost her gig as MP.
Gotta pay the bills somehow, so shes working the old Jesse Jackson shakedown.
Jackson did it better, though - this is lame.
Snap, Cracker, and LaShawn.
Uhhh...let’s see...Rice Krispies are white and Cocoa Puffs are brown?
That looks like the floor sweepings form the factory!
That's the ticket. A Black Asian,Female and LBGTQ elf. Rename the cereal The Village Krispies.
Ditto what you said.
Shut up, you pathetic loser.
Life is so good, high-functioning idiots have to manufacture “crises” to introduce stress into it.
That’s a sugar overdose waiting to happen!
