What's so hard to understand?
What there is money for:
-lining the pockets of wealthy Tory donors by giving them lucrative contracts.
What there isn't money for:
-hungry kids or northerners in lockdown. #FreeSchoolMeals#ToryScum— Parody Boris Johnson (@BorisJohnson_MP) October 21, 2020

Welcome to the UK.
Isolated from the rest of the world because we don’t like foreign accents, scurvy addled and riddled with Covid, we stagger around the abandoned portaloos of Kent clutching our racist 50p coins, our only remaining joy the suffering of destitute minors.

It takes a particular sort of horror to stand in a building where the taxpayer subsidises your food and drink and say that children should have to go hungry.

I don’t tweet about politics so when I say I despise our Tory government I want to be clear, it’s not a political statement, it’s a moral judgment.

Northern Ireland: Children will be able to eat free school meals during the holidays
Wales: Absolutely! No child should go hungry
Scotland: Yes, it would be morally repugnant not to help, These kids are our future
England: Fuck em

Prior to the vote, Keir Starmer noted the opportunity the government had to do something meaningful.
Today, Conservative MPs can do the right thing and vote to extend free school meals over half term and the Christmas holiday.
