Haven’t the lousy bastards just given themselves a pay rise too?
I find that offensive to scum!
Well spotted. I didn't think to zoom in.Kensington phone number...
Utter, utter cunt. Should be starved for a few days so he can talk from experience
Minister rejects Marcus Rashford meals plea because ‘children have been going hungry for years’
Presenter asks: ‘Is that acceptable?’www.independent.co.uk
Kensington phone number...
Too sensible
It doesthey’d have to pay the service workers more, too. It just doesn’t make sense for a government to foster a healthy, well educated populous.
I wouldn't put it past them that they U-turn on meals so that they could then quietly pass through their pay rise and not have to deal with the blowout.They're mulling over whether they'd like an extra £3000 a year each.
3000 x 650 = 1,950,000. Enough for 130,000 £15 quite weekly meal vouchers...
It does
Which is why the government isn't interested
We went down the wrong rabbit holehow did we get here? How?
I don't even know how that's possible. I spend nearly £10 a day ...Exactly. Rashford doesn't care about party bullshit, he's so clearly on the side of decency that anyone arguing against him just looks like a massive cunt. Seriously quite astonished that 332 MPs couldn't see just how shitty this looks. If ever there was an argument for getting rid of them, here it is.
Fifteen poxy quid a week to feed a child, less than a steak and fish 'n chips in the taxpayer subsidised dining room in the House of Commons.
Yeh but you buy pancakes rolled on virgins' thighs and the likeI don't even know how that's possible. I spend nearly £10 a day ...
A Conservative MP who defied her party to support Labour’s vote for free school meals during school holidays has resigned from her government post.
Caroline Ansell, the MP for Eastbourne and Willingdon, was one of five Tories who backed Labour’s motion on Wednesday to extend financial support for the poorest families through the half-term and Christmas holidays amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“I do not consider this extension could be in any way a long-term solution to this need, which is complex. There are better ways to help children, including linking meals to activities so they can also benefit from extra-curricular learning and experience.
MR post office watchI hope Rashford scores every fucking goal that England and United score this shitty fucking year. Twist the fucking knife in them.
Its sad when it has to be a footballer leading this, it should be all of us. Same time he's played a blinder on it. Sort of wish he hadn't accepted the mbe, but at least he'll have the option of sending the filthy thing back at some point.
This. I don't understand why the people in the UK aren't loudly and obviously protesting. Have we really become so oppressed, or so selfish, that we don't care enough about the disadvantaged?....Its sad when it has to be a footballer leading this, it should be all of us....
Old, cynical tory hating me, have convinced myself that it’s a coordinated and long drawn plan to create apathy, hatred and individualism. To drive wedges between all and remove this veneer they have sold to previous generations as fairness and democracy. People are getting more disinterested weekly when all they see is the inequality ever widening.This. I don't understand why the people in the UK aren't loudly and obviously protesting.

It's working, sadly.Old, cynical tory hating me, have convinced myself that it’s a coordinated and long drawn plan to create apathy, hatred and individualism.

Yes, there are plenty of people trying to care and do what is needed. But the rot is setting in and people are sadly turning inwardly. It’s so depressing.
I just saw, via twitter, Naz Shah -one of the most genuinely working class of all Labour MPs - absolutely tear the Tories a new one during the school meals/kids hunger debate. I'm crap at the tech thing, but can anyone post it up here? It's genuinely uplifting.
It's the 'oh some parents abuse the system' comments that piss me off the most, I'm sure they do, people are shit, but because say even 10% of parents take school meals or vouchers and they could afford to feed the kids is that worth penalising the other 90%? Surely even if 60% (and I don't believe it's that high) of the parents took the piss we still want to feed the other 40%?
I'd go so far as to say even in the extremely unlikely event that 99% took the piss we must still feed the other 1%.
I can't imagine any parent would choose to not feed their children. If the situation is that they can't, whatever the reason, it is the obligation of the rest of us to help the children.
It was inevitable she'd have to apologise within the rules of the commons. Be nice if she'd come outside the commons and say it though. Not just because the I hate the tory scum, but because it would be a good way for Labour to 'reconnect'.I like to think it was Kieth told her to apologise, not something she did of her own volition.
