Don’t let them get away with it: next time Tories mention £63m fund to feed kids, remind them it has been SPENT
Money, money, money: and none of it is for hungry children. The £63m fund mentioned so often by Boris Johnson and others was not for that purpose and was all spent before they even started talking it up.
You know that £63 million fund Conservative ministers like Robert Jenrick, Nadhim Zahawi, Matt Hancock and Boris Johnson keep saying is available to feed poor children over school holidays?
It was all spent weeks ago.
It came to only a few hundred thousand pounds per council.
When they Tories provided it in July, it was with a proviso that the money had to be spent within 12 weeks.
And it wasn’t specifically for feeding hungry children anyway.
Here’s Peter Stefanovic:
This has to stop!
Truth twisting Gov’t Minister Robert Jenrick still citing £63m allocated in June to justify his cowardly decision to vote down a motion to prevent more than a million kids going hungry during the holidays
Gov’t knows that money has long been spent! #KayBurley pic.twitter.com/372sJGBwtx

Don’t let them get away with it.
Next time a Tory minister turns up on the media peddling this lie, complain.
Complain to that minister personally, and also to the media outlet, be it the BBC, Sky News or some local radio station operating out of a Portakabin.
Let’s expose these liars and child-starvers for what they are.
Note: This Site has been reminded that a handful of Conservatives voted in favour of feeding children during the school holidays, in rebellion against their party’s line that called for your kids to starve. Obviously they should not be targeted during protests. The are:
Caroline Ansell( quit Government post)
Robert Halfon
Jason McCartney
Anne Marie Morris
Holly Mumby-Croft
No doubt there are perfectly good reasons to criticise the above-named people as well – they are Tories, after all – but this isn’t one of them.
