The corruption is disgusting and our country voted for 5 more years of it.
Oh and we will get another 5 after that the way Starmer is going, I hope he can turn it around and just be more assertive and challenge them as often as he can and where justified.

My wife was saying that the crux of the problem is how Free School Meal vouchers are/were issued, with there being a large delay until guidance was released.
They had to produce care packs because the guidance from the government wasn't released until last week; from this, their caterers were asked to do it.
Last time, it mostly some scheme called 'Eden Red' that was pretty unusable and would take staff working through the night to access the system.
Even then, vouchers weren't always issued properly to the point she moved them to a different, more efficient system but this came with a cost to the school.
While I don't agree with the catering company in what they've produced, the cost of running the company (wages, distribution etc.) will be a factor in it.*
If the government had released guidance and had reliable system in place from the outset, it wouldn't have been an issue as much as it is.
*They'll still be looking at making a profit too, sadly.
I can see the issue with the logistics, especially in the circumstances. But ultimately, if the company that is supplying the catering/care packages is less efficient than the average supermarket (in that they can’t produce the same value goods to a customer at the same price), then one needs to ask themselves why they are being used in the first place.
logistically it is clearly much easier to supply vouchers to the schools directly rather than food, especially food that is perishable. The only real rationale to provide food stuffs directly to the school via a third party vendor is so you can ensure quality or because that maximises value received by the customer (by customer I’m talking a child at risk). Judging by the pics neither of these criteria are being met in comparison to a standard supermarket.
The other, more cynical, side of me would suggest that the other benefits are that it places less trust in the parents themselves and that it provides an income to a company that is in a sector that might be struggling at the moment. It’s killing two birds with one stone so to speak (income for a struggling company rather than assistance to that company, and assistance to the child). It just so happens that the company is also a Tory contributor.
it’s lining the pockets of pals and reducing the need for welfare overall, and making the choice to trust and help wealthy business owners over struggling parents at a time of crisis.
Who’d have thunk it eh?
The issue was that for the first week there was no solid guidance from the DfE of what to do, the voucher system wasn't in place and mumbles of care packages.
Well, that's what my wife said.
But that’s the point. This is the second lockdown. The government should hsve had vouchers in place. They knew this was coming. I want to be clear, I’m not directing this at schools or teachers. They are doing an amazing job. This is the shambles of a government not learning from previous mistakes and caring more about the interests of corporations than they do about the most vulnerable children in the country at a time of crisis.

It's not "the way Starmer is going" because he knows full attacks will only get batted back with being insensitive about Covid and deaths. he knows the spin the tories will put on it right now. He will be biding his time.
The problem is the medias reporting of it. Or lack of. Johnson got hammered in PMQs and by the Select Committee yesterday. It should be all over the news. Nothing.
Most people don't watch these pieces where the PM makes an absolute mockery of humanity and lies/blusters/deflects. They get fed the media message which comes from the tory trough.

He went for Johnson yesterday when he politicised Rashford and attacked by name dropping him. It's all about timing and responding.
Starmer is fully aware we don't have a fair and impartial media in the UK. Even after Starmer reply it was not widely reported those meagre meals are described in Government policy.
Not sure where to put this put he is an ultimate Covid rat.

To be fair, it's possible that the guy who dropped the paper can't see the floor a couple of feet in circumference from his torso.
