Politics Today

meh, still not buying it.

If there were streams of kids over here wandering around like they've just done 6 months on the Burma railways I'm sure there'd be some Guardian journo and photographer at hand to help get them distributed around. Not that we even need those anymore now that everyone has a camera in their pockets and access to social media.

It’s okay to say you don’t care.

In fairness to Mr Rashford he’s never stated any of his aims are political. Rightly, or wrongly, he doesn’t want children, for whatever reason, to go hungry.

The reason he doesn't is from his own past experience.

Absoluty right Tavy, It is a scandal that all political parties have let down those that need the help most. But we have to say that things for those at the bottom run of life has not improved at all in the last decade and at the moment the Tory party has been in charge (2010-2015 Coalition with Lib Dems) We can't change the past but we can make the future better but it needs an honest and sometimes uncomfortable approach to things, More than just political points scoring and also the £9bn in extra money, Why isn't it making a difference because if it was we wouldn't be talking about this or the need to feed children?

It needs more than honesty and an uncomfortable approach and it will never happen as long as there’s party politics.

Exactly what I've said. If this is going to happen every time the schools are off there has to be something very wrong.

Not opening a can of worms but what this MP says is a grown up, Non shouting way to debate, An annoying thing though was the amount of MP's just sitting there on their phones

Hungry kids living freely in the 6th richest country in the world should stop their moaning, and count themselves lucky they’re not being held captive and properly starved, suggests Tory boy.

That's global dude. Something more specific to these regions of the UK that I never seem to visit?

That’s a good point

Aren’t you more of Tory boy than Jinxy Elgy?

The figures for the UK alone were in the document, if one would care to look for them.
