Free meals for kids during the school holidays ? No. The government insists that the temporary £1 000 rise in universal credit will cover the cost.
This makes perfect sense from a government whose response to refugees drowning in the Channel is to see the most urgent need to chase down traffickers. Never mind the drowned family. Why did they never learn to swim ?
It would be such a luxury to have a government that I could support. I am pretty sure that won't be any time soon.
But I do have an idea.
Boris, it was reported last week, cannot afford to live on his £150 000 salary, and has taken a huge drop in income after becoming Prime Minister. Surely this is a case for exuberant and enthusiastic crowd-funding if ever there was one.
If we could jointly provide him with a couple of years of buckshee salary on condition that he steps down immediately and never comes back, do you think he might take the bait ?
It would be a very satisfying use of hard-earned cash. For me, at least.
