An investigation into the free school meal voucher fiasco, which left many families without food during lockdown, has found the government signed contracts worth up to £425m with a company for which there was “limited evidence” of its capacity to deliver.

The troubled scheme was set up in just 18 days and awarded to the French-owned company Edenred, despite the government’s own assessment that the company’s UK arm did not have the financial standing that would normally be required for the scale of contract, according to a report by the National Audit Office (NAO).

Thousands of parents were forced to bombard a helpline in search of missing free school meals vouchers, because a firm picked to turn the scheme lacked the IT system needed.

At the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic in April – after English schools were ordered to close and poorer families promised extra help – Edenred received 8,878 emails in a single day, an investigation found.

I think you mean “their kid”. they don’t like to be known as a female.

i have the cook book “A girl called Jack” which they wrote before deciding to not identify as a girl. There are some good money saving recipes in there. i do the macaroni cheese with spinach and bacon and it costs pence.

i think Marcus Rashford should have got together with her and encouraged young parents to learn to cook cheap and healthy food for their offspring much earlier rather than expecting the rest of us to feed their kids.

After correcting Stooo, you then fuck up yourself
