RT @catherinerowett: What we should have had from the start is free school meals for everyone in state schools. Everyone.
No child hungry or eating only bread and jam. No envy and inequity in educational advantage. You can't learn on an empty stomach.
Other countries do it. We do it for early years.

@BlokeOnWheels Surely they must see that there's a string of other disgraceful allegations that shows that the whole party is riddled with sexual depravity, crime, corruption and cronyism. It's not even just sleaze. It's crime, blatant and unforgivable.

PS the more things you add that are exclusively for those on UC, and taken away as soon as you lose UC, the more of a cliff-edge you create that makes it unaffordable to work enough hours to come off UC; and the more disastrous for those who lose benefits due to failing a test.

It doesn't alter the fact that if there are children getting nothing to eat, the government is failing to keep up with the rapidly unfolding disaster they've created and are not remotely addressing with their increased taxation of workers and cuts in public sector pay. 2/

The government replies that it's expanded the provision of free school meals more than other governments. Yes, because it's presided over horrifying levels of poverty, deprivation and inequality. 1/

In case you had any doubts that we have a corrupt chancellor who is doing the wrong thing again, here's an example of how he could have done the right thing instead. With lasting benefits.

Hungary.

It tells you everything about what it is to be on the wrong side of everything.

EU 🇪🇺 needs to be rid of 🇭🇺 if #Hungary can't get rid of Orbán.

@seniors_uk You're right that it's hard not to use the day and the solar year as units.

@DAOBarry Yes that would have been good, though probably the 12 shilling Royal would have replaced the ten shilling note. Then you could have 12 royals which would be not far off a fiver, and 12 of those would around £60.
