And I think she probably gets paid too much, so shouldn’t claim expenses
Surely since you can cut costs at home (cooking bulk etc) and that option is taken away from you since it’s mandatory to send your kid to school they should be free for all, or at least heavily subsidised down to the level the government expects to be spent per meal according to benefits.
Some People suggest Therese Coffey is a wealthy out of touch bitch.
She is an awful excuse for a human being.
Dreadful horrible thing who clearly despises anyone she deems below her. She is absolutely unfit to be in charge of anything to do with social care.
I thought Iron Duncan-Shit was bad until she took over the DWP.
Does make me wonder just how many suicides those two have been responsible for….
Just a horrible vile human being from a horrible detestable party.
Just like most of the announcements from this government in the last few weeks. Her numbers are well off. I mean if you earning £35 to £40k a year I doubt UC is involved.
Honestly how on Earth do they find these people? Is there a convention of super villains I havent heard about?
How about instead of arguing about how poor you have to be for free school meals we just feed the kids? If your kid is in school they get fed.
How do you hear about children being hungry in this country and not do something? You’d have to be some kinda out of touch monster. Oh wait…
It isnt enough to vote against extending free school meals to feed children during holidays, they have to try to push to attack those that rightfully claim them/could?
And tories get upset when i call it the hungry children party god damn…
The dying days of a Government. They will not see power again for a very long time
And all MPs are too wealthy to need subsidised food and drink.
Well then how about we don’t fucking means test meals for children.
After they took away the £20 covid uplift I had to lower my Bahamas hotel booking to a 4 star hotel without a spa.
The only people that live the high life on benefits are MP’s. “posh” people call them expense’s
Therese gets subsidised meals in the Parliamentary restaurant and she gets paid over £80k
Maybe she’s too wealthy to be getting meal subsidies
What kind of person goes on national TV, in a midst of a cost of living crisis, whilst foodbank use is at an all time high…. and decides that the right approach, the responsible approach, the approach that will reassure a worried public, is to demonise people on Universal Credit as rich scroungers.
Answers on a postcard…
if you’re foolish enough to have been born to parents without generational wealth, the only use you’ll be to the tory party is when you die. the more undignified and avoidable your passing the better.
these people are sustained by human misery.
Can we just force these absolute morons to live on universal credit for a week? “Oh boo I can’t afford my fresh salmon from that special place I like!” I don’t think they’d last an hour.
Back in school I knew people whose parents earned something ridiculous like 50p or a few pounds too much to qualify their kids for free school meals, yet there was very little room for negotiation about it.
Making sure kids in school are fed should not be a topic that is divide or something that people should fight to stop happening. This government is so disgusting
Well of course she does because she is a cartoon villain. Where on earth did they dredge up therese effing wheezy? A marsh bog? A sewage pipe? A landfill? She is effluent from the brain all the way down.
I don’t remember the 1980s tories ever being this bad. People will still vote for… whatever the hell this is… just. How? You’d have to have your head so far up your arse you could lick your own tonsils.
Next time you go to the polling office, choose the person with the best chance of kicking these jokers out, even if you have to take a sick bucket in the booth with you. For the love of all that’s decent in the world.
What are the odds she doesn’t know the rules of universal credit?
“Therese Coffey claimed those earning over £40,000 a year on UC could be eligible for free school lunches for their children if the threshold was extended.”
Is that true? People earning £40,000 per year can still claim UC?
Says the woman on a 6 figure salary who gets subsidised steak and wine for lunch.
Meanwhile she’s on £87,000 but get subsidised meals at Westminster.
​
*Rules for thee but not for me…*
This blubbering cunt has never missed a meal in her life
No she’s right .There are people out there working the minimum and getting more as a top up …screwing the system. It wasn’t set up for this
I hope Coffey and a lot of other Tory MPs get to enjoy signing on very soon.
This is technically true, but the conclusion that you should draw from this is that free school meals are too tightly restricted, not whatever the fuck she thinks she’s arguing in favour of.
Get fucked, we’re not on universal credit and can barely afford regular meals.
Tories are all just a terrifying combination of evil, stupid and incompetent.
Yeh it’s the poor that are too rich. I get it now. There’s me thinking it was the super rich that were too rich. There I go with my idiotic grasp of economics.
I dunno what world she’s living in, but it sure isn’t the same one as the rest of us!
They’re all off in cloud Cuckoo land this lot..
For Christ’s sake. I’m in New York City at the moment — every single kid gets free breakfast and free lunch at school, no questions asked. (And they even provide access to them during the holidays too.)
The Tories: ensuring that everyone is feeling the effects of a cost of living crisis, and then demonising the poorest to try to gain the votes of the middle classes. A tale as old as time.
Tbf she’s factually correct, as 40% of UC claimants are in work, and it’s very difficult to get FSM if you’re working because the income threshold is so low (£500m/month iirc which is essentially nil).
i think we can all see where those free meals are going
Can anyone shed some light on the claim that someone can earn £40,000 and be on UC? I’m not familiar with how UC works, how is that possible?
And some people who work struggle to pay £90 a month for paid school meals.
What’s your fucking point you odious slimy cunt?
all state school children’s meals should be free. ffs.
I mean let’s be honest she isn’t wrong but how do they know who is and who isn’t? I know many people on UC with side gigs but realistically thise are unreliable most of the time anyway and UC is reliable. The gov should be using the figures they know of on paper against the figures of the cost of living and keep their noses out of peoples personal business. These people spend an atomic bombs fortunes worth of our tax money, and high interest borrowing from the banks and other contries money on alsorts of bullshit, more money than everyone who ever claimed UC or Dole since it became a thing, and they think and avg person is somehow too wealthy for free shitty school dinners for their poor kids?
What world do these politicians live in seriously. Fucking sheltered honestly, no politicians ever go door to door and see peoples living situations anymore. They never have an hour or two coffee with them and talk about things anymore. They read what’s on twitter and go with it. They hear rumors and go with it, just like the media. Lazy bastards. Nobody does investigatory journalism or political work anymore. They know whats up, they’ve turned politics into serious money business and that’s all, profiting from our tax and profiting from moeny they keep printing. Thanks for the insane levels of inflation
Says the fat, old, pisshead who is too up her own fat, useless, snobby, arse like the many who work in the JC. Out of touch with the common society and using UC to strip ppl of their dignity, finances and mental health.
Suicides, poverty and homelessness have increased thanks to the shitty Tory’s.
Heres a con they don’t tell you – if paid weekly they will calculate 5 weeks pay instead of 4 ensuring you earned more than the threshold so you get no top up. There are only 52 weeks in a year not 60.
Another ; they say single ppl must earn a max of £495 a month however the benefit cap is £23000 pa. But they will take the £495 a month to ensure you don’t qualify for anymore and ignore the cap.
Their job is really to ensure the give the minimal financial help to you.
Over 90% can’t quote UC information set on the You gov website.
Spend the rime in meetings during appointment time ensuring they arrive 10 minutes after your appointment is due to end.
Never read or update a journal unless its to fob you off with excuses.
Harass you at work on a weekly basis because they are too incompetent to resolve an issue with HMRC who are very up to date. But their systems down and they cant call or email them.
Just like the Torys the ppl at the JC are useless and knowing they can’t be employed elsewhere remain there for their civil service pension.
UC is a Tory designed scam to rip off the poor.
