No-one is means-tested before being fed in hospital - nutrition is critical to our health.
Nutrition is also brain food. Yet we still means-test children in nurseries & in schools from Yr 3 up, against an income threshold of just £7400.

Today at #PMQs I asked the PM about the injustice of 4 million children in hunger in the UK, including many in West Derby.
I asked the PM to meet with me to discuss how investment in Universal Free School Meals could address this scandal.

Scrapping existing or abandoning future actions to cut obesity rates will have a devastating impact on children, their adult lives + the NHS budget. In the poorest areas, over 1 in 5 children are living with obesity by the time they start school.This is unacceptable + preventable

What are the rules/conventions about covid cancellation. 4 people have just cancelled for tomorrow night - because of a positive covid test. That’s a 1/5 of the tickets and wipes out profit for the event. They want a full refund.
In other news anyone want tix for tomorrow?

Science shows us that action in early life can prevent problems that can be costly to individuals and society. Economics shows that investment at the start of life generates the greatest returns. @RishiSunak investing in #HealthVisiting is the smart thing to do. #TurnOffTheTaps.

End of furlough looming, loss of employment, physical and mental illness, personal loss…the impact of COVID-19 is still being felt across much of the country. Now is not the time to remove vital relief packages which to many are a lifeline…

Here they are marching through @LoveValleyFest spreading important messages ❤️🌎

We welcome the National @food_strategy. Improving the food system is a key action in the Interim Devon Carbon Plan, and establishing a Devon Food Partnership is a great step forward for the county.

“As more and more people are impacted by poverty and inequality across the UK, it’s clear that the conflation of the food waste and food poverty problems is setting us back. Food waste can’t fight hunger, only systemic change will do that.” bigissue.com/latest/system-i…
