To want everyone to know the names of the MPs who voted against feeding hungry children?

[WrongKindOfFace]

Remember Marcus Rashford and his campaign to extend free school meals? Yesterday all but a handful of Tory MPs voted against extending free school meals over the school holidays until Easter 2021. You can see if your MP is amongst them here: votes.parliament.uk/Votes/Commons/Division/896#noes

Whatever your thoughts on what parents should be doing some children are going to go hungry. Why punish the children because of the sins of the parent? And remember most people on benefits are in work.

Plus there is a bloody pandemic. We’re in unprecedented times. People who were just about managing are now on the bones of their arse.

We have billions to spaff up the wall on a useless test and trace system, or useless Ppe but we can’t feed a few hungry kids. And le’t not forget that the MPs voting against this get subsidised meals and can claim for their food on expenses.

'Who cares? I agree with her but really, it doesn’t matter, does it.'

Well you see, they have to decide if language matters or not. Typically it is very hypocritical of Labour to pearl clutch over 'humbug' from Johnson yet think 'scum' is fine well because they're right of course.

I repeat. I doesn’t matter. He’s a big boy, she’s a big girl, they can take it.

I don’t have to check to know how my pompous smirking intransigent dickhead of an MP voted.

The apparently immovable Geoffrey Clifton-Brown.

I'm proud to say my local MP voted yes. However we're a labour town through and through!

Way to derail a thread @GetOffYourHighHorse.

I'm proposing all ignore this posters comments on this thread.

What a surprise...

Yes, stop derailing. Amen to that, Mutha.

Fucking disgraceful 😡

On top of the 26k in office expenses they already get, MPs were given an additional 10k to cover additional costs for working in a pandemic. And apparently the rules were relaxed so that they don't have to provide evidence (I take it that means receipts) of their purchases. Other changes include the removal of the limit on the costs of single items. Amazing how these emergency changes can be put in place instantly. Quite disgusting.

No surprise to find my MP voted against. Awful woman. We are in quite a deprived area, there is a high uptake of fsm at my daughters school. Not surprised as when I wrote to her about the skunk that is Dominic Cummings when he was on his jollies to Barnard castle she replied with a wishy washy pathetic excuse for the man. Shame on you for not giving a stuff whether kids who need it are being fed over the holidays.

My MP voted no but then today had tweeted this! What the actual fuck, the woman is an utter disgrace

This just makes me so sad. My MP voted for it thankfully but then again I have never and will never vote Tory.

Have you called her out on it?

I mean, this doesn’t surprise me at all.

Out of the 323 Tory MPs who voted, only 5 were yeses.

The remaining 318 voted to let the kids go hungry.

Basically it was the Tories vs everyone else, but because there are so bloody many of them, the fact that not one single other party MP voted against is irrelevant.

Nice one, Tory voters. This is the government you wanted. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

My tory robot- whose not been seen here since March- voted against the extension- despite our constituency borders on Rashford's home town of Wythenshawe. Totally disgusting

Good for you mutha. You can of course ignore me if you can’t engage intelligently, there's no need to 'propose' it. You'll be shouting order next.

I wonder why MPS votes aren't anonymous to prevent the witch hunt evident on here and other platforms.

Witch-hunt or accountability?

You wonder why we're allowed to see how our elected representatives vote in Parliament?

Not only did they vote against it but they voted against it whilst having their own meals subsidised to the tune of £3.1million!!! Not only their food but their bar bills too! Oh and not forgetting the £17000 of bar bills that was covered by the tax payers because MPs didn’t bother to pay.

So please ask your MPs why they voted against this bill to feed hungry children whilst continuing to enjoy heavily subsidised food and alcohol in the HoC.

Now remind yourself that the PM has been recently quoted as complaining that he’s struggling to live on his 150k salary and ask yourself then is it reasonable for him to deny Andy Burnham’s request for enough money to bring the 2/3s wages up to the 80% to give people a chance to keep putting food on the table knowing that 2/3s of NMW basically equals fuck all. And is it right to further compound that deprivation by refusing to help feed the poorest children in our society at a time when we’ve just made their parents poorer still?
They disgust me.

Predictably my MP is on the list 😡

because they’re public servants and they work for us. Transparency is essential in a democratic system.

Are you sure you have enough basic knowledge to debate UK politics?

Well you've lost me there.

You don't think that elected politicians should be accountable to the electorate, right oh!

Gosh. My tow the party line Tory MP didn’t vote for this. I am amazed. Perhaps he wasn’t in?!

Really? You really can’t see why the public have a democratic right to see how their elected representatives voted?

'Witch-hunt or accountability?'

No, it isnt 'accountability'. Twitter is full of 'ToryScum' vile comments, the bile and vitriol online is shocking. Disagree, challenge yes. Just without the pitchforks. I read that many MPs have panic buttons in their homes. So yes, how they vote should be anonymous imo.

Covid has really brought out the pack mentality in some people.

My mp voted yes but we are labour so that’s to be expected. Funny anyway I’ve been having to provide my 3 children with packed lunches this whole term anyway as my children’s school kitchen is closed and has been the whole term. They are entitled to fsm but I’ve had to pay a fortune for lunches. The school offer a packed lunch but there is only one sandwich choice they can eat and none of them like it so won’t eat it (have asd so not a simple case of saying tough, if I don’t provide lunches they wouldn’t eat)
