          Not sure it matters who I voted for?

          Who did you vote for?

          Feeding children should not be about politics.

            Vouchers is by far the more efficient way BUT the point of free school meals initiative is not simply that poor parents can't afford food for their children, but to ensure children from deprived areas/families get a decent, nutritious meal each day.
            Forget the tired "they'll spend it on booze and fags" cliche, lots of children are fed extremely badly not from lack of funds but lack of care/lack of knowledge by their carers.

            As you say, giving them actual food is a valuable opportunity to check on the family as well as ensuring they get real food. However, a lot of families wouldn't know what to do with a lovely box of fresh veg.
            Delivering actual meals would be wonderful but of course a huge challenge to actually do.

              Hancock: "I'm really glad we're able to send out food for those who receive free school meals when schools are in, and I'm really glad we're able to do that when schools are out."


              GMB: "If you're that glad, can I ask you a question, why did you vote against it?"


              Hancock: "Well I'm really glad we're able to put it into place,"

              GMB: "Well if you're 'really glad' why did you as health secretary vote against this?"


              Hancock: "Well... because... the reason I'm glad now is because we've been able to sort that out and put it in place".


              GMB: "No thanks to you!"
              GMB: "Let's be honest you got shamed into it by a young football player with a conscience who managed to prick the conscience of you and the government,"
              GMB: "Do you regret now, given how glad you now are, voting against it?"
              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  Which vote are we talking about? Who is GMB?

                  I remember the vote about continuing FSM during holidays, but not when schools are closed during term time. Was the interviewer twisting things slightly or was there a vote on this?
