@sucha_rascal @thecarolemalone Child benefit is very much separate from UC. I know this as I work in this sector. Always check your facts because you can make yourself look a little silly if you don't.

Absolutely right. It’s not the State’s responsibility to give kids their breakfast - it’s a parents job!!!
Katharine Birbalsingh@Miss_Snuffy
They are buying your votes. This isn’t about giving struggling families help. This is about ‘making mornings easier for all families’. Do we really want the state doing everything for us? What about personal responsibility? How infantilising.

@Floydian50 @thecarolemalone Absolute lies, Universal Credit of £292.81 per child per month in addition to the £17 per child. Why make up lies?
English
@sucha_rascal @thecarolemalone You only get 27 quid for the first child and then 17 quid for subsequent children, ffs, it's not the child's fault for being born into a family that are struggling.

@SkyNews But it’s not all bad for Rachel from Accounts. The IMF predict Rach will have the highest G7 growth…. Inflation… see Rach said her top priority was growth. Rach has also massively grown unemployment by 403,000.

@NadiaWhittomeMP @AndyMcDonaldMP Ah! Bless, couldn’t you find another MP to pair with and agree to cancel each other out?
English
Unfortunately, I’m unwell and unable to be in Parliament to vote in favour of @AndyMcDonaldMP’s amendment (to which I am a signatory) to the Crime and Policing Bill.
The ‘cumulative disruption’ powers being proposed are a danger to our democracy. It’s wrong that a Labour government is pursuing a policy the Conservatives couldn’t pass.

@arbcreative @thecarolemalone What you think it’s a good road to go down for a lying government to make more and more people dependant on benefits.
They do it to buy your vote.
Work, pay tax, bring up the family YOU can afford. Everyone will be better off.

@sucha_rascal @thecarolemalone Thick as mince!!!
You literally are as thick as mince.

@blagona @Floydian50 @thecarolemalone Irrelevant. The only figure relevant is total benefits claimed.
For a decent, fair society to work we need the majority working and paying tax (I have my entire life and been glad to), to pay for a minority that properly need to claim benefits.
Otherwise society breaks down.
English
English
@Floydian50 @thecarolemalone Now the two-child-limit has been scrapped there are many families that get so much in benefits, it has become a disincentive to ever work, even part time.
That is poverty, living in a household on benefits with no one working.
English
@sucha_rascal @thecarolemalone You seem on the ball. Maybe do some research before spouting absolute nonsense on here, you've just made yourself look a right twat.

@Iromg So now Labour use the taxpayer to pay for childminding, breakfast, lunch and give the parents additional money for unlimited breading of kids. These families will never see benefit claiming parents going to work.
That’s real poverty.

This hasn’t gone at all well
Bridget Phillipson@bphillipsonMP
We want children growing up in our country healthy and happy. With Best Start free breakfast clubs, half a million more children to receive free school meals and new updates to the quality of school food, Labour is setting children up to achieve and thrive.

Feeding your child breakfast is a parental responsibility, not the government’s.
Calling them ‘free’ breakfasts is misleading, they’re funded by taxpayers.
At a time when public services are under pressure, I’d rather see that money directed towards core issues like fixing roads and tackling the energy crisis.
Support should be there for genuinely vulnerable families, but normalising the state stepping in for basic parenting duties is not a direction I will ever agree with.
Mills. 🇬🇧@loud_MM91
@BenGrahamUK As a tax layer im totally fine with my money going to feed child who need it 👍 and also, the breakfast club allows me to drop my kid off at school AND get to work on time. So how about you go fuck yourself Ben?

@RespondUnable @zatzi Starmer plans to use secondary legislation to put us back in a single market, taking EU rules, but without any say in them.
English
@sucha_rascal @zatzi OK nowhere on the referendum paper did it say Brexit means leaving the Single Market or the Customs Union (as there are non-EU States in both). That aside nothing the Government is doing places us in the single market nor the customs union. So what is your point.

🚨Annunziata Rees-Mogg has slammed Labour’s move to tie the UK closer to the EU. “This is immensely controversial, it wasn’t in Labour’s manifesto, they have no mandate to do it!” She warned the plan destroys Britain’s democracy and sovereignty.

@Arron_banks He only looked at part of the story.
He completely forgot to mention that the vast majority of pensioners (9 million) NOW pay tax that offsets the triple lock. Over 1 million at the 40% rate.
Pensioners are paying tax for benefits to the 9.3 million lazy economically inactive.

I guess the concept of inflation has passed you by …

If, like me, you were born in 1956, you’ll receive almost £300,000 more in benefits than you’ll pay in taxes in your lifetime State Pensions make up a huge chunk of that Long term, we simply can’t afford to sustain the Triple Lock’s generosity Blog: desmondswaynemp.com/ds-blog/1956/?…

"That's the way it works"
A generation ago, total pension expenditure was around £20bn.
Today that figure is expected to be £177.8bn.
If pensions had only kept up with inflation, this would only be £59bn.
They don't know how lucky they are (and how unsustainable this is).
sue@sue3563
@LondonWageSlave @NewsonTed And when the old were young they also paid the pensions of the generation before - that’s the way it works...

@Miss_Snuffy So now Labour use the taxpayer to pay for childminding, breakfast, lunch and give the parents additional money for unlimited breading of kids. Whole families will never see anyone ever going to work.

Should schools feed children dinner too?
I know of a school that does.
We already want schools teaching kids to wear nappies and brush their teeth.
Just how much should schools do instead of families?
At what point do we think this undermines the integrity of the family?
CSarah@SciPolEdComedy
@Miss_Snuffy You’re wrong on this. I agree with most of what you say but breakfast clubs really do help working parents and encourage us to have bigger families
English
@drrkhalid1 An apple, toast, corn flakes, & orange juice are generally not considered a well-balanced breakfast by nutritional standards. While it consists of common breakfast items, this combination is very high in fast-acting carbohydrates and sugar, but low in protein, healthy fibre.

Here’s a sharper, more viral version with punch 👇
Children can’t thrive on empty stomachs — and finally, someone is acting like it.
With free breakfast clubs, expanded school meals, and real upgrades to food quality, Labour Party is putting fuel where it matters most — into the next generation.
This isn’t just policy.
It’s the difference between surviving and succeeding.
