Good to hear someone point out that last summer the govt spent £16 million on another fence in Calais (worked so well), alongside many millions more on vanity projects since.
When the political will is there, money can always be found. Just not for our school kids today #r4today

(Someone, in this case, being the chair of the education committee, Robert Halfon. A Tory who seems to have spotted that his party only picks from its magic money tree when it feels like it.)
It's genuinely interesting how this government chooses to pick political battles over children's welfare issues.
You'd think the wide public support for, you know, feeding and educating kids in this country would sway them even if their conscience didn't... but not a bit of it.

LOL I did think it was odd that a Tory was slamming the Calais fence!! They just replayed the clip and he said £16 billion on DEFENCE... not a fence!!! 💀💀
Point stands. They did spend £16 million on a fence and it was another enormous waste of money! #r4today
