    Yes I am sure these football players earning millions every year worry so much they can't sleep until their next paycheque.

    Good, just highlights the stupidity, ignorance and lack of caring from the Tory party for voting this down. Do you realise you just shared it with this board?

    Not at all. That's media attention for them, advertising if you like. The government just provided the ammunition for them to do so. Silly

    I understand it bob... all you and a couple of others do is post nothing but anti-government stuff. You don't post anything else. Always the same cr2p. I keep saying you need to look behind the headlines and see what is really going on.

    Point 1 git the name in the paper. Free advertising. Where does politics come into it. This is what I mean. You dont get it. It's about being bloody human in nature.

    I understand it just fine. However if the landlord wanted to bar Sunak he should have done it descretly like what my local landlord did to some idiot that kept swearing. He went to the media for publicity and nothing else. Show me all the stuff the landlord as done for kids school dinners in the past?

    Are they secretly doing a brilliant job?

    Only yesterday I exchanged messages with a friend who moved from London to Warrington last year. She has found it quite shocking how anti government people are, and how people feel decisions are made with only London in mind.

    The school dinners situation is one I saw first hand when I ran youth clubs in East London before moving to Paris. Half the time kids went hungry as parents didn't have the means to feed them, and half the time it was because parents chose to spend the money on the wrong things. The kids would then follow their parent's example and if they had money, it would go towards a can of coke and sweets/chocolate. We spent quite a lot of time in youth clubs, cooking meals altogether, so the kids could see how to cook from scratch, instead of just sticking a pizza in the oven/paying for a takeaway.

    As is so often the case, what is needed is a little bit of education and a willingness to learn. It is possible to eat well for not much, but it requires time to prepare, and knowing where, and sometimes when, you can buy food cheaply.

    On that note, I'm off to the market, where I can get fruit and veg for a family of four, for a week, for around €15 (£13.60).

    To be fair I think they just have contempt for everyone when they don’t need their votes.

    There appears to be some sort of competition on Twitter for which random backbencher you’ve never heard of can show themselves to be the least humane. Ben Bradley is still winning but has the unfair advantage for previous comments about benefits claimants being sterilised.

    It seems like the majority of the country is rallying around to feed hungry children during the school holidays, obviously apart from ruthless tories (bar 5). McDonalds is now donating 1 million meals aswell.

    No they will probably do a U-turn on this. MacD's will get some fab advertising and next week it will be something else. That's how it works.
