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 weekly meal vouchers...

Well spotted. I didn't think to zoom in.
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
they don’t know hunger, only being able to heat one room, topping up your gas card for a quid, queueing up at the bank to withdraw your last 8 quid.

they’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.

Which is why the government isn't interested

Yipchaa!
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.
how did we get here? How?

Support grows for Marcus Rashford's free school meals campaign
Politicians and celebrities of all stripes come out in support of plan rejected by government
Tory with a conscience. Blimey. However, really not sure of the detail in her quote,
Linking meals to activities sounds a bit like you don't get the meal without the activity. Which is
Anyway, about this £15. Our FSM pupils get lunch which allegedly worth, or costs, £12.50 a week, £2.50 a day.
For your £2.50 you get:
1 thin white crap bread sandwich with inedible ham or cheese.
1 flap jack (best option by miles) OR 1 chocolate cupcake OR 1 piece of fruit of questionable provenance/quality
1 tiny plastic cup of orange juice.
And that's it.
Vouchers they can spend themselves? Infinitely preferable to that crap. So let's not just campaign for FSM through holidays and lockdowns, let it be known what my pupils actually get for that. Because it's appalling.
As to the free breakfasts spoken about upthread. Again, my pupils, some of the most socio-economcally deprived in the UK, get one free slice of toast and a cup of tea *. Our school has no canteen (we have to fetch FSM from a nearby secondary school) so no way whatsoever of providing hot food.
These are the kids governments profess to care about when they say we can't close schools because it will affect the disadvantaged most.
*Edit - just to be clear. The 'breakfast' of a cup of tea and a slice of toast is not connected to FSM. This is for every pupil, paid out of school budget, because we recognise most of our kids will probably not get breakfast at home.

I 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?
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.
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.

Chris Clarkson, the Heywood and Middleton MP who was whining yesterday about Angela Rayner calling him scum... proceeds to vote against school meals in the holidays. Fucking scum.
Hope Rayner has the guts to say it again, about the fucking lot of them, though I suspect Sir Keir would shit himself at the prospect.

Thanks for these, having them fresh in my mind slapped mother back down in to her box when she started the "Yeah, but legitimate..." clearly she had no answer, cos there is no riposte to that.

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'.
