Did I miss the bit where he admitted he got it wrong? Last I saw his words had been 'taken out of context'...

Occurs to me that the stock excuse they should have trotted out is "I misspoke", but I guess they figured that excuse was a bit worn out at the moment and so they had to pivot to something else.
They're unlucky, really.

It's certainly delicately poised.
I'm not politicaliterate enough to see all the pieces, but feels like it's certainly a question of "which does the least damage overall" rather than actually coming out with a "win".
Sad to say, as has been mentioned there probably are quite a few who buy into the "parents' responsibility, breeds dependence" schtick, and there will inevitably be another bastard-mad story along shortly to divert attention again.
Half-term put this issue back on the table, maybe Christmas is close enough to keep it in the cycle, where other times it might drop out?

Yipchaa!
Aye, sadly you might be right.
But, alongside being ideologically reprehensible, this lot are almost impressively incompetent too, so hope springs eternal...

YOUR STORY DOESN'T STACK UP, GRAHAME
<edit: I'm sorry, Grahame, I misread and thought you said you were his younger brother, when in fact you said he is your younger brother. My comments were taken out of context, and I'd hope you would rise above organising an internet pile on, which I feel is beneath us both>

Cunts. It's going to play well with cunts.
What do you mean by that? Because it eliminates the responsibility for Government to deal with?

He's the real victim here, clearly.
I think these people genuinely feel no sense of dissonance in their position that we shouldn't feel sorry for hungry kids but we should feel sorry for tories when they get called names. The consequences of their actions are unmistakably evil, but do they themselves even have enough basic sentience to be called evil? I honestly don't know. They're basically just viruses with twitter accounts at this point.

At least they're consistent. What's the point of depriving kids of nourishment if some slip through the cracks and end up getting a bit of education.

We shouldn’t be happy or celebrating charities and private businesses having to feed poor children. Saying they are the backbone of this country and the implication that that is somehow a good thing is monstrous. We should be utterly furious. We should be stringing up those responsible from the nearest lamppost.
I disagree but fair enough.

Considering they pretty much all voted for it, knowing full well what it meant and no other party did (apart from the DUP) it's going to be tough for them all to say "oops we were all wrong about that". That's not just admitting you were wrong, that's admitting that you knew you were wrong but the wrong thing you did was something so shitty you couldn't keep it down.
They daily do plenty of shitty things, this one is just harder for them to save face from. Really badly thought through, especially as it already happened once before this year. Dumbarses.

Can confirm. Checked in to see what’s going on under the line over at daily mail towers and whoever they are commenting there they love this, symbolic of the whole idea of small state, fend for yourself, not the governments job to feed the feckless etc isnt it. Maybe some people find this return to normal reassuring after all the profligacy of the ‘whatever it takes’ stuff from sunak.

I agree. Luckily I see this point being used to hold the government to account in the media . . . well for now. I have not seen them respond though.
"do you agree that the charities, communities and local businesses stepping in to help should be applauded?" . . . it's a question with a 'no win' answer, probably why I haven't heard anyone respond to it yet. I'm sure they will have got some spin ready soon though.
