People in kitchens at 5am raiding the cupboards to see if they can cobble together enough rice and pasta for a couple of bags.

Even if expanding FSM wouldn’t help every person who needed it, it would help at least some of them. Which is why the mental gymnastics being displayed by the northern Tories in particular still fall flat. Sickens me even now they got those seats

This is what concerns me. As bad as the government has been recently every time they post on social media there's hundreds, if not thousands, of people agreeing with them and they aren't all bots!

They’re now trying to turn this on Starmer for not keeping Rayner in check for using naughty words or to go on about ‘middle class elites’ without spotting the contradiction. They’ve gone full Eric Pickles

He’s being doing the rounds on TV this morning and it’s been an absolute car crash. He’d have been better of just deleting the series of tweets and issuing an apology by way of a statement. When you’re in a hole stop digging.

I hope #benbradleyisscum is trending on Twitter

What I don’t get is he is scum and delights in being scummy but then takes offence at being called what he is.

How can it not be scum to say to poor kids without food that they should take some responsibility for their parents actions and we are not going to help in the way that those closest to them say will work?

Eat that humble pie tosser

It should be ‘unparliamentary’ to tell blatant lies rather than to be called a liar for telling them

To be fair I’m happy he’s not personally scum but his words were absolute scum. It’s not that we shouldn’t be asking for personal responsibility but this issue is about supporting the kids

Done some more reading now I don’t get the argument at all. We aren’t going to help in this specific way cause we’ve helped in general ways even though professionals are telling us this would make the most difference

And 40% of our country will say yep. If they couldn’t afford kids they shouldn’t have had them

So they don't care that Starmer is low energy but Corbyn being low-energy prevented people voting for him. OK...

I know Cummings is generally considered to be in charge but does he really have this much power? Is there nobody high up in the party that could say we're getting hammered on everything, this is an easy win for relatively little money?

Great idea at Morrisons. Although as with everything like this shouldn't overshadow the fact this shouldn't be needed.

So what was different that the people who voted for him two years earlier wouldn't vote for him then?

Other than Brexit policy (which was almost certainly the biggest factor and would've seen them vote that way regardless of the person at the helm) what else had changed?

I reckon it was people had got familiar with him, just like they do everytime. Clegg was a 'breath of fresh air' then people quickly went off him. Same would happen to Starmer. Once the 'new' veneer wears off they'd have the same complaints, as they would with any of the other candidates for the leadership.
