Yorkshire commits to U. S. serial killerImprisoned for life
Leeds Light Night 2020: when and where to see the laser in the sky this week
This comes after one of the most debatable nights in the House of Commons, where the Labour movement to expand the school holiday program until Easter 2021 was defeated by 261 votes to 322, with a majority of 61.
The city’s politicians, who have at least 35,000 young people and families in the city, wondering where their next meal will come from and increasingly depending on food banks, have pledged to continue the crusade that has conquered the center of the country thanks to Manchester’s contribution. United footballer Marcus Rashford, who as a child benefited from the show.
Today, Richard Burgon, a leeds East MP, where 5,000 young people get loose school meals, called the government difficult and said it’s not too late to replace his mind.
He told the Yorkshire Evening Post: “We will continue with this request and the government will have to admit that it acted in a completely inappropriate, immoral and callous manner and replace its brain. He can replace his brain and do the right thing. . . I ask conservative MPs who voted against this to admit they were wrong. “
Burgon said the award of a cumulative salary of 3300 euros consistent with the year to MPs had bothered the stage and wrote to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority to oppose and ask for a wage freeze.
He said the government’s history of poverty had been poor since 2010, but he was surprised at how brutal it was.
Mr Burgon added: “In a way, the only thing that surprised me was that the government brazenly made its vision of other people in our communities as transparent and ordered MPs to vote like them. They don’t care about others in the working class. “people, and other people living in poverty. “
Councillor Judith Blake, director of Leeds City Council, said the stage is a “national disgrace” and that, since the lockout, the number of young people receiving loose school meals has increased from 2,500 to 28,000, a surprise.
She said: “The loss of chores and the reduction of the working hours of low-paid staff as a result of the closure mean that more families in our city want to feed their children. We have noticed a significant increase in the number of others forced to use universal credit, we know that an insufficient protection network is pushing others into poverty. The number of young people receiving bulk school meals in Leeds now stands at 28,000, an increase of more than 2,500 since the closure began.
“No child will go hungry and it is a national shame that many families are facing this option as we enter winter. It is bitterly disappointing that the government has chosen to do nothing about it and is now, unfortunately, too late for the medium term. I hope they reconsider the Christmas holidays and it is vital that everyone helps maintain the strain on them to replace their minds.
Hilary Benn, who represents Leeds Central, said the result was “absolutely embarrassing,” but that the crusade audience would advance her.
He said: “It was surely a disgrace on the part of conservatives to vote against loose school meals during the holidays. How the hell can they justify that?
“Boris Johnson will now have to 25,000 young people from low-income families in our city why won’t they get the assistance that would make a difference for themselves and their parents at a time when many families are in trouble?”
“However, we will not give up. There’s a mass audience for this campaign. “
Rachel Reeves, a leeds West MEP, added that ‘sink or swim’ aid plans can leave more than a million young people on the threat of going on a hungry school vacation and suggested that the prime minister reconsider.
Five Conservative MPs rebelled on the motion, adding Special Education Committee Chair Robert Halfon, but that was not enough.
The division list showed the 4 to be Caroline Ansell (Eastbourne), Jason McCartney (Colne Valley), Anne Marie Morris (Newton Abbot) and Holly Mumby-Croft (Scunthorpe).
Halfon later suggested to the government that he continue to offer food during the holidays while the coronavirus crisis was underway and asked ministers to paint with Rashford.
In response to the verdict, the footballer said: “Put aside all the noise, the excavations, the politics of the party and let’s go to reality. A significant number of young people go to bed tonight not only hungry, but feel they don’t care about the comments that were made today.
“We will have to avoid stigmatizing, judging and pointing with our finger. Our perspectives are obscured by political affiliation. It’s not politics, it’s humanity. “
