Welcome to Dickensian Britain, where hundreds of thousands of children go hungry because the Government can’t be bothered to ensure they’re fed properly.
If they were the kids of Tory Ministers and MPs it’s a fair bet that Boris Johnson would be pulling out all the stops to fill their stomachs.
But these are the sons and daughters of low-paid adults falling through holes in the welfare state – so the establishment ignores their plight and finds excuses to leave them hungry.
