  1. I’m sure with food poverty he’s got his thoughts and prayers lined up for everyone else as he tucks in to his caviar.

  2. It only breaks his heart that he didn’t create the problem and cannot get any credit for the people starving… hence refusing to expand free meals, he’ll feel better now that he’s created more starvation and hunger and his heart won’t be breaking so much

  3. He loves it.

    In his books food poverty will put off the ‘wrong’ people from breeding, which plays well with his base who think this island is ‘full up’.

  4. We should have free school meals for all children up to Year 7, and with a proper budget for decent food.

    Proper nutrition should be an integral part of schooling.

  5. Breaks his heart he is a senior Boris Johnson creep he has no fucking heart. His head is so far up Blow Jobs ass.

  6. There are no words to describe this wanker, breaks his heart he hasn’t got one or brain cell for that matter

  7. Remember last time this came out Tory MPs came out with and lined up to defend statements like they cannot support expanding FSM as recipients, their own constituents, will just go and waste it all on crack and hookers before seeing their own children fed.

    That’s the level we’re operating on here just so its clear. That was an actual thing said and defended by Tory MPs in 2020.

  8. Raab: It breaks my heart that people are starving

    Reporter: Have you tried feeding them?

    Raab: No and we won’t!

  9. For all the people who love to call Kier Starmer a “rEd tOrY” or similar uneducated, teenagery crap: this is one of many examples of how things would be different.

  10. It’s crazy to me that all kids school meals aren’t free, nutritious food should be basic service in school. You could even incorporate it with learning if you were adventurous enough.

  11. If they’d targeted the £400 energy grant to the people who needed it, and not to people with second homes, and on stupid amounts of money each year then maybe they could afford to give that money to hungry kids instead

  12. Time to end this privately ran ‘academy’ school system and bring it back in house. Spent a few years working at an ‘academy’ and can honestly say the overspend is absolutely incredible. Anecdotal but a desk was broken by a pupil, I was asked to find the relevant desk in the official catalogue and it was £750, I found the exact same desk at b&q for £79.99, I raised this but was told that every school supply had to come from this specific catalogue. This sort of massive overspend extends into every aspect of the academy, save money there and feed the bloody children!

  13. >“I think the question fairly is whether applying free school meals to everyone on UC [Universal Credit] actually will target the most vulnerable in our society,” said Mr Raab.The deputy PM added: “I’m not convinced it’s the most targeted way of dealing with the most vulnerable.”

    It would be a fucking good start.

    Nasty piece of work.

  14. again – anyone who votes for these venal, mendacious shits – this is on you. you voted for a party where the cruelty is a feature, not a bug.

    time to own your cuntery.

  15. “Yes I agree food poverty is a horrible issue”

    “So Mr Raab are you going to help ease this”

    “😐”

  16. Just provide meals to everyone and spread the cost through income tax. Appreciate this is perhaps oversimplification of the issue but every child should have a cooked and nutricious meal every day.
