Ministers accused of being London-centric with Covid support

Greater Manchester mayor says Sunak’s new plan is what he asked for before tier 3 talks broke down

Good to see the North / South Divide is still alive and well. This replicates the floods a few years ago where Hull were ignored but Thames Valley were given handouts...

Sir Marcus is more eloquent than I thought he would be after listening to his interviews

Chief whip has told the MPs to openly attack Rashford and given them a cheat sheet of tweets to rebuke him with.

The racist **** for Mansfield MP is using it to his advantage. I know from personal experience that cunts personal views would be better suited to the BNP.

Give it 48 hours and even people on here will be referencing the Sunak deal in the argument against Burnham. Deliberate obfuscation. If you're not following this circus in real-time it's almost impossible to get the correct story after.

It’s hard not to wonder what the fuck is going on.
To now give money to tier 2 areas (London) that was not available to Manchester beggars belief.

All of them who use it I'd say.... Sorry if that offends anybody who puts their MP or Political Party on a pedestal

You can't complain about a subsidised work canteen (lots of companies have them) and not criticise all who frequent it

I’ve worked in supermarkets and their canteens used the cheapest stuff off the shop floor to make meals in the canteen. I really don’t think MPs can cry that they need these subsidies to the tune of around 6m per year on the taxpayer. It’s fucking scandalous they rely on these state handouts yet tell low income families to not become dependent


I didn’t get meals like this in my workplace canteen. We got the whoopsie reduced sandwiches that were going out of date or smart price sausage casserole for 1.27

MPs are greedy, grasping hypocrites. They need to pay full price or buy a sandwich for the local Tesco express. Meal deal is £3

If this “canteen” is so anti-establishment then why haven’t any of the MPs raised concerns? I haven’t seen a single thing about this from Labour, the Lib Dem’s or SNP so I can only assume that they are all using it....

Do the MP’s pay a levy toward the place which reduces the price of meals for members?

Your staff canteen is nothing like the one we had access to. The one we used (still operating) provided excellent food at decent prices.. this is really no different for me

I agree with one point, that MPs are grasping hypocrites who claim as much as they can against expenses but how the hell can you tar the Tories with one brush and not the others if they are all cut from the same cloth?

They get £25 food allowance daily also and their alcohol is subsidized in parliament bars.
Did your workplace provide cheap beer too and send the tab to the taxpayer.
I have a huge problem that MPs earn £74k a year yet still receive free meals and travel

and I’m not just saying tories. I’m saying every single MP. Labour, lib dem, Tory or independent. If they voted against feeding children during this pandemic then they should hang their fucking heads in shame
