Feeding the nation's most disadvantaged children
**The Renew Party would like to thank everyone who donated towards helping to feed the most disadvantaged children in our society.
We are proud to have made a stand and to have played our part in making a difference and in the government changing its mind.**
Renew will be providing an initial 322 meals to represent those 322 MPs who voted against the Bill, supporting the FareShare Charity.
Join us to fight a political system that allows such unpopular and disgraceful situations occurring, find out more at the Renew Party website, www.renewparty.org.uk.
A Renew spokesperson said: “Last week our government made the despicable decision to vote against giving disadvantaged children food over the half-term and Christmas holidays. This is demonstrably not a decision that the majority of the country supports.
“The fact that such a decision could be taken highlights the very real problems with the political system in the UK – problems that affect the everyday lives of millions of people in this country.
“MPs were whipped into voting against the free school meals proposal brought forward by the Labour Party. The individuals concerned may have wanted to support the proposal, but they knew to do so would limit their career in the Tory Party. These MPs put their own self-interest and the interests of their Party ahead of the interests of the country and the people they are supposed to represent. They should be ashamed of themselves and they should never be allowed to call themselves the representatives of the people again.
“Renew is calling for an urgent removal of the Whip system to prevent such outrageous and cruel decisions from being possible in the future. We demand a political system where elected officials have the integrity to represent the views and needs of their constituents; a political system where MPs are free from fear or threats from a central party machinery that controls them and consequently the country.”
