Looks like the voucher scheme is back thank fuck. Although I expect Daily Mail journalists will be on the lookout so to speak.
The saddest thing in all of this is the leader of the opposition is now a footballer and a TV presenter and the Labour leader is doing his hair somewhere.
Comment on it? He really earned his money there. Within a few hours of the photos being released Rashford was having a meeting with Chartwells, a few hours later they were binned off and now the voucher scheme is back. Nice one, Marcus.He did comment on it to be fair, it’s just that Rashford is so entwined with it now, his reaction is deemed more newsworthy.
It gets better .... apparently the company supplying the food boxes also cater for some private schools.

I don’t defend them particularly mate and I was only talking about this particular food parcel not the government as a whole.
Looking at what you said:
Rashfords campaign. So the government originally figured we don’t feed kids during school holidays so we aren’t going to now. I understand the point they were making but it completely lacked any form of compassion or thought. At some point and for reasons we will never know it fairly quickly realised it needed to provide support during school holidays. But whatever their reasons the government fucked up, they should not have said “we don’t do that” they should have said “we will look in to it and revert”. So we agree on this although if they were as uncaring as they made out surely they would have stuck to their guns here?
On the vouchers, personally I don’t even think that is the best way but it’s better than food parcels...fucks sake it’s like they are some sort of refugee. Just give people cash in their bank. Sorted and carries not a whiff of social stigma, people are generally quite private and don’t like their business being broadcast. Unfortunately our politics is so often about focusing on the few not the many when criticising the other. Most people can look after themselves and their kids perfectly well. All hues do it.
I can’t agree with the point about this food parcels scheme being about dodgy deals. The government will want £30 of food provided not pictures of half full boxes because some cock is on the fiddle. It’s an easy accusation to make and often impossible to refute or prove. So it sticks. Especially if they have form so I get why you would immediately think it. But in this case they were far enough removed from the contract to legitimately say “nowt to do with me”. There is plenty of other stuff we can look at and say this smells a bit but I just don’t see that being the case here

Question is though ..... who sat in a cabinet meeting and thought that the families who needed help in term time because they were struggling .... wouldn't need help in the school holidays.
beggars belief.

Im convinced we’d be the same as NZ with regards to Covid had we had that Marxist in charge.And they manipulated the voters into thinking Corbyn was the problem.
The PM just said the same to Starmer in PMQs. The speaker bollocked him for it.Looks like the voucher scheme is back thank fuck. Although I expect Daily Mail journalists will be on the lookout so to speak.

The question confused the PM as Starmer opened with “How would you feel if this affected your children...”Starmer just read what he claims is the govt official advice on the food parcel, and it was the box in the tweet pictures plus milk and a packet of ham. He then challenged him to take that down by the end of the day.
Johnson just didn't bother addressing the point at all - got ticked off by the Speaker for abuse and then for rambling (quite how he got onto Brexit is anybody's guess).
He didn't say Starmer was mistaken, which surely would have been easy if Starmer was in fact mistaken. That leaves the options that it's true and Johnson doesn't care, or that he has no idea.
Hancock is utterly despicable isn't he?

He would probably need a few minutes counting up how many children he has and the logistics involvedThe question confused the PM as Starmer opened with “How would you feel if this affected your children...”
That was brilliant by Starmer. Johnson’s response was telling in itself as it always is, thankfully looks like the speaker is finally going to clamp down on him doing it now though.
That’s an example of where Rashford can get more traction though. He’s apolitical and has far greater reach on social media, Johnson can’t go off on an unrelated rant against him and try and ignore the question.

the fact that Johnson thanked Rashford for doing their job for them shows what an arsehole Johnson is
