Universal Credit forcing starving kids to take apple cores out of bins at school, headteacher reveals

If you eat in prison you eat in school its that simple

I sees Social Services are nowhere to be seen.

This government should be ashamed. But of course they are stuck up Tories.

Oho that’s so sad and matters to rethink about removing poverty...

Have you seen the starving children in the poor countries that are at war,THAT'S STARVING WITH THEIR BONES STICKING OUT

Propaganda

Do they not do school free meals anymore

Maybe the parents should get jobs instead of freeloading and bringing up kids to think that's normal society

What the hell do the parents do with the money they get for their children?

That's parents responsibility.

That just isn't right, its so wrong. All children should have a good breakfast. I can't think straight without breakfast. How do children cope?

Also the fattest nation in the EU. Nanny can't always look after you.

Britain is a disgrace. They rather spend the taxpayer's money on that person who married an Isis man and wanted to come to Britain after betraying the British people. I would never vote for Conservatives.

It is the fault of the parents. Benefits pay enough but some parents decide to spend the money on.... Cigarettes Booze Tattoos Sky TV Pandora Take away food Coffee shops Drugs There are not enough characters on Twitter to describe some parents

Bet their parents can afford fags though!

Why are you bothered when you have been roaring and cheering on policies for the last nine years that have created it? Justice for the 96

WHAT BLOODY RUBBISH, NO PARENT IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS WOULDN'T FEED THEIR KIDS, THEY'D DO ANYTHING TO MAKE SURE THEIR KIDS ARE FED TO THE POINT OF NOT EATING THEMSELVES.

National disgrace, let’s spend more on foreign aid!

For some i guess the only time they get a meal is at school...don't stop free school meals, not if this is getting worse
