As foodbank use skyrockets Boris Johnson is cutting food support for the poorest children by more than 90%.

Intolerable in one of the richest countries in the world - and @GoodLawProject won't tolerate it.

Must read story from @oliver_wright and @billykenber. Extraordinary both (1) for what we must hope is merely staggering ineptitude with £108m of public funds (as opposed to something worse) and... Image

Hard to think of a story that more clearly illustrates both the simple incompetence and the contempt for good governance of this Government. Image
