More details

Because no child should go hungry in a country where we have subsidised people - regardless of their socio-economic status - to eat meals in cafes, pubs and restaurants all summer when children face a winter of hunger. It’s hypocritical and immoral. We need to advocate for our future, our children. They are minors. We should safeguard their rights.
