Tory MP quits government over refusal to extend free school meals
Not really too much of an issue for the government with its large majority but draws attention to the topic it can do without given the billions spent on track and trace.

Just how much of his own money has Rashford committed to his cause?

Re: Tory MP quits government over refusal to extend free school meals
A problem arises between children whose families are really in poverty and need the meal, those whose families are "negligent" and need the meal, those who don't need the meal and those who don't need the meal but families say they do. (Possibly other groups too.)
When there is billions of fraud over Covid schemes and other help systems so the "giver" has to pay for monitoring and detection it really doesn't help. If those getting help was really limited to those needing it and no fraud there would be enough to go round and support even more. |

Not sure what that's an argument for or against? :confused:

They shouldn't have scrapped the previous arrangements.:rolleyes:
I remember at Primary school we didn't have school dinners, free or otherwise. Somehow parents managed. They already receive the money to feed them in benefits and tax credits etc. Children skipping breakfast isn't just a UK thing, and isn't just a poverty thing. Link Quote:

I don't think the reasons for school dinners has ever been about helping the parents out financially. At one secondary school we were just fed a roll in the Library. The school was in the process of being built, and they only had facilities for the initial year students(aged 12/13), and that was probably just to serve people at the associated theatre. Does the parent get extra money for when they don't yet go to school or get suspended when they do? Coming from a disorganised home is a far bigger factor than money. |
