Why keep punishing our most disadvantaged? Give our children a chance.
All eyes on the Commons 👀
And just for clarity, the #endchildfoodpoverty debate on a long-term sustainable framework to combat this issue is still to come.
This is not going away and neither am I...

“If you feed children properly, you increase educational attainment, boost life chances and, therefore, cut costs in the long run.”
The attainment gap btw between disadvantaged and those better off is estimated to be 75%. A result of school closures...
@SteveBakerHW Myself and the Task Force continue to invite those in power to collaborate, sit around the table and collectively understand how we can support our most vulnerable children. The invitation is consistently met with...silence...
We’re with you all the way @MarcusRashford, so, again, we’re extending our free school meals scheme throughout half term at our 25 @CoopAcademies. 5,000+ students who normally receive government funded free school meals will receive vouchers.
Blown away by news of local businesses stepping up to fill the voucher scheme deficit during the October half term. Selflessness, kindness, togetherness, this is the England I know 🏴
Add #ENDCHILDFOODPOVERTY to your tweets so I can track them. I will share as many as I can ♥️
I know hospitality is on its arse, but even with no money and bankruptcy likely for a lot of us, we still I repeat still would NEVER vote to leave children hungry. Just one reason why I’m proud to run restaurants. We’re supporting @Lunya@LaurasBakery@MarcusRashford@IndpndtLiv
@vuecinemas please list somewhere on your website that you have removed kids booster seats. One very upset little girl who couldn’t see the film she’d been so desperately waiting to see. Very disappointed at first visit back.
The Backstreet Boys singing “I Want It That Way” from their separate abodes gives me so. much. joy. Also, I might be crying? #iHeartConcertonFOX https://t.co/CfwXu6YQcZ
