£7 million to rebrand Highways England (why?)
£12 billion to Typhoid Dido and Serco for a failed test & trace system.
£7,000 per day to Covid ‘consultants’
But it’s OK for kids to go hungry.
At least RH was one of the very few to have some conscience.

Well done in putting our children first before politics. Shame on the others who voted against it.

Very well done Robert. No child should go hungry and no child should be left behind.
