Tories drop manifesto plans to get rid of free school meals for infants.

which is a shame, because no one seems to have bothered with the evidence just the politics. the evidence that concludes fed children behave and learn better suggests that free breakfast for all primary school kids would have had a better outcome than free dinners for first three years. (apparently there's nothing conclusive on whether breakfast or dinner itself is better).

The school breakfast is a LUDICROUS idea - breakfast is an opportunity for parents and kids to spend time together, discuss the day ahead etc, whereas school lunch isn't.

Leave breakfast to parents, give free school lunches to kids. If they can manage it in Sweden and Finalnd they can manage it here.

No fox hunting either . What was the point of their Manifesto ?

If you don't win a majority it goes out of the window.

Apart from it was going to be woefully underfunded and figures were based on only 25% take up. That doesn't even take into account that the budget was 25p per head - it would have been a pretty poor breakfast.

If our family didn't talk at breakfast my son would leave for school without his swimming costume / homework / football boots etc, while my daughter would forget who was picking her up, who she was playing with after school, what clubs she had on etc.

It's also an opportunity to calm them down or build them up if they have a test or a presentation.

No Jezza fanboys banging out about PMQs today then?

Surely he smashed it out of the park with all those open goals?

Here's the next Prime Minister earlier giving it large in a place that has the 13th most deprived ward in the whole of The UK. Northern Ireland doesn't have one of the most deprived wards in The UK - Hastings does. Northern Ireland gets BILLIONS of Tory magic money tree lucre as the many of us learnt today. Hastings doesn't. Gensing and Central St. Leonard's has a 16 year life expectancy differential between the few and the many - there's nowhere in South East England with that disparity. We've suffered £30milion pounds of cuts while the coalition of chaos gets £100Million a man to fund Northern Ireland. As he said to us, as he says to all of England, Scotland and Wales where he's visiting 70 of the most Tory oppressed marginals in our country, starting with the greatest - #forthemanynotthefew. A fire engine pulled up. East Sussex Fire & Rescue got out and walked and met the Messiah. A heroes reception ensued. They didn't care. They just came to to say thank-you to Corbyn. As did the nurses, the care workers, the people, The Albion season ticket holders, the young, the old, the many and the few. There were Belgians who said 'this is the man' there were people from Bexhil who said the same. A Golden Labrador got excited - Corbyn calmed it. A girl cried, Corbyn comforted her. A seagull soared, Corbyn knew.

Corbyn came to Hastings today because it's a key marginal and Amber Rudd cant wave the magic touch wand like this in a thousand years like he can. Corbyn came. Corbyn conquered. More than this - He made the people, the ordinary people, the many, not the few - happy.
