Scottish and Welsh governments have extended free school meals up to and including the Easter holidays. Then again, we don't vote tory.

Politicising starving children

How very dare we

Ross tonight voted against free school meals for English kids. Every Scottish Tory mp did the same.
Thanks to the SNP, Scottish kids in their own constituencies will receive free school meals.

Absolutely, and it's why I said earlier in the thread that I just cannot understand what has gone on that these people think that this government is their best option

Somethings broken.

Ross abstained, which is arguably even worse than voting against.

Not only is he complicit in the bill being voted down, he used it to try to further his own political ambitions as well. An opportunity to distance himself from London whilst still showing absolutely no social conscience whatsoever.

That's the behaviour of a proper ****.

Vicky Ford, the Children's minister, tonight voted against giving them free school meals.

So he didn't have an opinion on whether kids who can't afford to eat properly should be given a helping hand.

Top man.

Owen Thompson apparently abstained as well which seems odd.

I'm trying to find out why he abstained when all the rest of the SNP MPs voted for the motion.

When it comes down to it, they're politicians behaving as politicians do, putting their own ambition or agenda first.

I actually think there’s an error with that one. It doesn’t fit in with anything he has said previously.

He's been speaking in parliament regarding keeping the £20 uplift on universal credit.

Can't see him abstaining on free school meals for bairns.

I'd guess he was paired

What a disgraceful outcome, if not overly surprising. Doubly so for Scottish and Welsh (if there were any) MPs who voted against it safe in the knowledge their own constituents wouldn't be affected.


Does anyone know how much would this would have cost?

This U.K. government are more out of touch than anyone could have imagined. Can’t agree deals with local mayors or the EU but unite to starve the poorest kids in society. I’m sure all those voters that voted for them to get brexit done must be delighted with outcome of their elected members behaviour.

Child food snatchers.

3 word slogan and fits on the side of a bus. Even a few of Bozo's supporters might be able to identify with that.

Brexit was making us richer but unfortunately all the money seems to have been directed to shell companies with non existent ferries and PPE start ups who don't have to compete for the contracts.

England is fine with all this though, so we’ll just need to accept it.

Saw that yesterday and was absolutely stunned. Get ready for another decade at least of Tory government. Unless of course Scotland takes matters into its own hands and votes for independence. Surely the time is now

Mystery solved, he was called away to deal with personal family issues. He had fully intended to back the motion.

Fair play to her for acting regardless. Does that mean she sits as an independent rather than losing her seat entirely?

This must be an error, surely? Liberals and centrists were absolutely certain that "anyone but Corbyn" would be at least 20 points ahead by now.

It's less than a year since the Tories won the election by a fairly wide margin. Given the scale of the defeat Labour were looking at taking at least two election cycles to offer a real challenge to the Tories. If they keep improving as they have been doing then the next election will be a lot closer than anybody would have thought even a few months ago. The fallout from the shambolic handling of the Covid crisis alone is going to see votes shifting in huge numbers.
Starmer continues to impress and Burnham's stand will have gone a long way to rebuilding the red wall. Keep watching the polls, they are only going to go one way for the foreseeable future.
