, minister for Northern Ireland, bought the Child Poverty Action Group reference manual last June and then charged it to the public purse.
I believe the book was not convincing and that is why he decided to vote against feeding needed children. 🥺
More amazed that he bought the book. Bet he never read it
Do these morons have any moral grounding whatsoever?!
Oh the irony
£65 🤔
DISGUSTING
“Manuel bought by Robin Walker could have paid for an entire class to have dinners” The real story should be why a conservative mp managed to buy a waiter from Barcelona and was Basil paying him too much? What do you think about this JohnCleese ?
Bad minister.
You couldn't make it up!
Does he got off on poverty ?
IrvineWelsh ?!?
It should be noted that as the ave cost of is school meal is ~£2.25, this minister will deprive ~29 school pupils of a hot meal! One trust that he his suitably proud! Their lack of empathy & compassion is simply astounding. BorisJohnson Keir_Starmer
They just don't see it, do they? Strange mentality!
what a rotter !!!
Shame libraries have been closing, could have ordered it, to read for free
🤬 The Tories in UK are what Republicans are to the US. Grifters the lot of them
A complete wanker
Unbelievable. Why do MPs need to claim for expenses?
Thanks for highlighting this and proving again what total and absolute c**ts these Tories are.
The independent needs to stop putting this disinformation out that may eventually end up with another MP being harmed. Every single MP; Labour included will order books for reference. This newspaper needs to be investigated.
The Independent's headline/snippet writers need to pay for a flipping dictionary. Manuel is the waiter at Fawlty Towers. I believe they were looking for the word 'manual.'
Nowt worse than a loaded scrounger...
This belongs to just yesterday! babykillerarmenia StopArmenianAggression OpenYourEyes DontBelieveArmenia
I Manuel from Barcelona, this manual from bookshop! You to using spellcheck, señor!
Just a plain pi,,take look at him FFS , typical Tory
jansoldman Another fine example of a Worcestershire MP.
Out of touch
They have no shame. If there is a class of social parasites in the UK, it is these people.
Says it all really.
65£ book? Was this for a graduate class? Who pays that much for a book that isn’t required for a class or part of continuing education... or wait he didn’t pay for it, the tax payers did.
This is a man who needs to read a book about sending children up chimneys and how starving them.
Jesus wept.

Rebel Tory 'power base' aims to tackle UK north-south divideJohnson faces backbench bloc of Northern Research Group demanding investment ‘to level up north’, transPennine railway and local tax powers What Tory nonsense. These people are interested in their own future and care nothing about feeding children or levelling up. Just find out about their background, what they say and how they vote. ToryScumbags squirrel. Narrator: they failed miserably. Haven't we had enough of 'research groups' ?

Tory civil war EXPLODES - Boris Johnson confronted by northern MPs over COVID shutdownCIVIL WAR within the Conservative Party is 'inevitable' as divides over Boris Johnson's handling of the coronavirus pandemic deepen according to a senior Tory. The northern Conservative MPs are wrong. Britain quarantined travellers from countries with 20 infections per 100,000. The norther cities have 500 plus infections per 100,000. Do the northern Conservative MPs want their constituents dead? The pennies dropped they have finally seen the total farce it is. Are they supporting their constituents or is it they realise they won't be re elected next time. There is more to this, than Covid . These MP’s , many of them in seats that have always been Labour , realise that if the government choose their southern strongholds over these northern areas when it comes to repairing the economy, their jobs as MP’s will soon be over .

John Penrose: Tory MP and husband of beleaguered Test and Trace boss blames 'chaotic parents' in free schools meals rowA Labour minister says John Penrose should look at the Test and Trace system if he wants to see 'what chaotic really is'. Typical out of touch Tory! Everything is everyone else’s fault! Coming from a guy who has probably never had the indignity of going hungry or had to decide whether to eat or feed his kids or needed to chose between making breakfast or getting to work on time or not get paid! What a fucking shambles Every MP who voted against FreeSchoolMeal should have to demonstrate how they would survive and feed their families when living on minimum wage or benefits, for a minimum of a week to see how they cope with the budgeting challenges.

Opinion: Tory claims about council funding solving child hunger are false. They’re doing it to save faceAs leader of Newcastle City Council, I know the £63m hardship fund that Matt Hancock now claims was meant to feed pupils never had anything to do with free school meals Are you suggesting that school mean provision has magically moved to central government? I guess, quite by chance, that suits your anti-government stance. Do you need logodesign for your Company ? Contact here ---- Another fact free ‘opinion’ piece from the failing Indy
