Disgusting act by the Tory party and Copelands very own mp votes in favour  :witch:

I noticed a deal was struck with the DUP that if the voted in favour kids in northern Ireland wouldn't be effected.

Yet another attack on the poor whilst protecting the rich, it's means tested so if you are eligible then you should get a hot meal whilst at school. This country is going to pot unless you are a wealthy Russian???

We have kids so others can pay for them?? It’s about time we stopped living in an entitled society and took some responsibility for our own actions. Can’t afford to feed kids then don’t have them.

Btw I’m in favour of every state school having free meals for all kids.

Some families have 2 parents that work but due to low wages and increased living costs can't afford to pay the bills and feed their kids. This is wrong. Working families shouldn't have to suffer. Also it isn't the child's fault they where born so why should  they miss out?

No kids who are currently on free meals will loose them and an additional 50000 will be eligible. Let's not forget that the most vunerable will be entitled to two free meals now. Typical labour voter spreading fake news. :mess:

No families at the moment will be affected. But more families in the future will be affected.

So what your saying is that nobody is losing those school meals? Remember that those who are yet to receive cannot have lost anything.
