Here's the quality of MP voting to deny kids in poverty a meal:

Not defending him, and only for the sake of political balance on this forum, the offence was back in 2013 and not too long before that it was found that politicians of all parties had their heads and principles firmly in the trough:

Brilliant footballer, hattrick tonight. Even more brilliant as a person. Can't praise him highly enough.

Mark Francois claims for his confectionery. Of which there’s almost certainly a lot. A lot more than those kids have.

Are you suggesting that the post was politically motivated and nothing to do with giving out free school meals? ?

I think it's just a coincidence that the poster forgot to point out the hypocrisy of the Labour MPs wanting the taxpayer to foot the bill when they have also had their heads in the trough for so many years.

Of course it’s about free school meals. Balance can go duck itself.

Of course it is, someone claiming expenses in 2013 is really relevant to free school meals in 2020.

It's as though nobody noticed there's a schism in the Labour party, and Momentum wanted to take the party in a direction of greater social responsibility and greater public spending. But the days of Momentum, with a leader backed by hundreds of thousands of energised new party members, are finished (for a bit at least). You've got Starmer desperately trying to not be someone, as PE puts it succinctly (he desperately was pitching as not Corbyn, then he was pitching as not Rebecca Long-Bailey, and now he's desperately trying to show he's not Boris).

Someone who claimed expenses (from the tax payer you are so concerned about) for heating the stables at his second home. He voted against extending free school meals.

Of course it is relevant.

This thread raised the issue of a group of privileged bamfords voting to not give funding, that would be used to make sure children didn't go hungry over the school holidays.

People say these bamfords don't understand the struggle that some parents have, in finding the extra money, to feed their children over the school holidays.  They're wrong, the bamfords know precisely the struggle these families face. They just don't care about a section of the nation, that will have no impact on their own lifes.

I'd say the billions wasted on feeding and housing illegal immigrants would be a better place to find the funds.

Hope you can back up the billions claim, and explain how it's wasted. Nice to know feeding people is a waste of money.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. 

In 2014, Migration Watch tweaked facts from the report ‘Fiscal Effects of Immigration to the UK’ which was conducted by the Centre for Research and Analysis of Migration (CReAM) to argue that migrants cost Britain £3,000 a year and have racked up a bill of over £22 million a day on the taxpayer since the 1990s. However, the CReAM report actually proved migration was an overall net benefit to the UK, prompting the report’s co-authors, Professor Christian Dustmann and Tommaso Frattini, to condemn MWUK’s report as it was “based on a serious misinterpretation of the methodology we have used in our work”.

Channel 4 similarly found MWUK could only arrive at such a conclusion by changing “part of the methodology” and by assuming “that migrants pay no businesses taxes.

I don't know. You tell me. But read your own link before you do. 

The Definition of an Illegal Immigrant

1. Illegal immigrants do not have the right to remain in the UK. They may have entered legally but failed to leave when they were required to do so. Alternatively, they may have entered the UK illegally.

So, question is, if someone legally enters the country, legally gets employed and legally pays taxes, once their right to stay ends do they stop paying tax?
