Err, I mean Eric Gates School dinner gate.
Or should that be School Dinner Gate? Schooldinner gate? Schooldinnergate?
Anyway.
Sorry Tories, this isn't going away, it's just going to keep exposing the Tories just like each wave of the Pandemic. Now its gone from starving kids to getting rich off starving kids. Always that extra low for the Tories to stoop, taxpayer exploited of course.
Free school meals firm with Tory links shamed over £30 shopping basket
The people profiteering off kids' lunches:
Dominic Blakemore, Compass CEO - Earns £4.6m a year
Paul Walsh, Chartwells old boss - Donated 10k to the Tories.
Ian Meakins, Chartwells new boss - Moved last company to tax haven
The parents of children who qualify for free school meals have shared pictures of the small amount of food they’ve been given to last them 10 days. Food parcels have been brought in to replace £30 vouchers given to parents to spend in supermarkets as schools close for remote learning. But one mum valued the contents of her parcel at no more than £5.22, if bought from Asda. She was given two jacket potatoes, a can of beans, eight single cheese slices, a loaf of bread, two carrots, three apples, two Soreen Malt Lunchbox Loaves, three Frubes, some pasta and one tomato. The mum wrote alongside the image: ‘Issued instead of £30 vouchers. I could do more with £30 to be honest.’ These items bought from Asda would cost £5.22 (Picture: RoadsideMum) She added: ‘Public funds were charged £30. I’d have bought this for £5.22. The private company who have the free school meals contract made a good profit here.’ Footballer Marcus Rashford, who successfully lobbied the government into continuing free school meals for children through the summer and Christmas holidays, described the parcel as ‘unacceptable’. Another parent described the parcels as ‘laughable’ (Picture: Marcus Rashford) Another pictured shared by Marcus Rashford showed half a pepper included (Picture: Marcus Rashford) This image was sent to food writer and activist Jack Monroe by a parent in the Midlands He shared several pictures of food parcels parents had sent him, with one including two cans of baked beans, two bananas, half a pepper, several loose slices of bread, one potato, one carrot, two eggs, one onion and two ziplock bags of cheese and pasta. Another image showed three small fruit cartons, four apples, a tin of baked beans, raisins and snacks. The mum who received the parcel noted: ‘This is my picture and what I received. How can you say this is three days worth of food for an eight-year-old? What do I do with a tin of beans, raisins and some snacks? Laughable!’ Some parcels were supplied by private catering company Chartwells, which is part of the food service giant Compass Group. The group’s former chairman, Paul Walsh, was once a member of David Cameron’s business advisory group. Responding to one of the photos, a spokesperson for Chartwells said the amount of food did not ‘reflect the specification of one of our hampers’. They added that they would investigate immediately.
