More than 200 children’s authors, including Shirley Hughes, Philip Pullman, Malorie Blackman and Matt Haig, have put their names to a letter decrying the government’s vote against providing free school meals for children in England during half-term.
LotharBirkner Rent paid, council tax paid, around £1000 per month spending money for a single parent with two kids on Universal Credit; should wealthy authors not be condemning the parents who are spending the money on something else (weed, backy, booze) rather than the hard pressed taxpayer!
More people need to moan like hell about this!!!
Cute, a political mini crisis/scandal created. - deadcat alert. To deflect from Manchester charade and Mr Starmer protecting jobs with lockdown. Now call in the lovies. Where is Mr Lineker? There is a sensible way on this. no?
If only the 'UK' propaganda MSM writers didn't enable the 🇬🇧Est's 'UK' Govs to cause all the problems in the first place eh?
If these authors are so worried about it tell them to get their money out.
That’s Boris finished then.
My goodness me I hope the conservative government realises just what a big mistake they have made.
Good.
Presumably all 200 have missed the billions already paid in economic support, or that all those Labour MP's accepted the pay rise and also the £25 per day food allowance. Not seen any of them standing up either
