[David Davis MP @DavidDavisMP]

This afternoon, I met women on hunger strike from @mothers_manif outside Parliament.

Whilst I didn’t agree with everything they said, they made some very good points particularly around the need to reverse cuts in foreign aid. I have long campaigned against those cuts.

A group of mothers are taking part in a five-day hunger strike outside Parliament in a bid to highlight the struggle thousands of mothers are facing to feed their children.

Thank you to everyone who came and listened and supported us in Parliament in December - we're looking forward to more proactive conversations today. Were working with MPs to take direct and immediate action to end the preventable crisis of food insecurity. #MothersHungerStrike

[Jeremy Vine & Daytime on 5 @JeremyVineOn5]

Would you back a hunger strike for free school meals?

A group of six mothers have begun a five-day hunger strike outside Parliament to draw attention to parents who are unable to feed their children.

Is this OK?

[Wera Hobhouse MP 🔶 🇺🇦 @Wera_Hobhouse]

1 in 4 young mums in the UK skip meals to feed their children.

The government's failure to ensure all children have enough to eat is disgraceful.

That's why @mothers_manif are taking part in a five-day hunger strike to call for direct action to end the crisis of food insecurity

[Mothers Manifesto @mothers_manif]

DAY 4 OF 5 #mothershungerstrike We're feeling very supported by our amazing community. 1 in 4 mum's are skipping meals daily to feed their children. Starvation and malnutrition worldwide is preventable. Nobody should have to try and survive without life's basic essentials. 💕💕

[The Food Foundation @Food_Foundation]

🗣 'There are fewer needs more basic than nutritious food for you and your children' - says Sir Michael Marmot of UCL Institute of Health Equity

Data shows 8 million adults and 3 million children are experiencing #foodinsecurity and 60% are buying less fruit and 44% less veg.

[Mothers Manifesto @mothers_manif]

We've been speaking to mothers all round the world to understand their story. The familiarity with starvation and the reality of this crisis is gut wrenching. We demand that our manifesto is heard by those who CAN reverse this nightmare.

This is why we are calling for the 28 recommendations from the #JoCoxCommission to be implemented. For a healthy democracy, we must make life safer for elected politicians while preserving robust debate and peaceful protest.

[The Jo Cox Foundation @JoCoxFoundation]

The intimidation of elected representatives is not a new issue and does not have just one solution. As well as improving responses to these threats, we need to see action that tackles the root causes of this problem.

[50:50 Parliament @5050Parliament]

👊 We can't keep losing brilliant women MPs! #5050Parliament calls for CULTURE CHANGE so that talented people are recruited to politics.
@MhairiBlack MP, is stepping down because of the "toxic" culture in Westminster.
