Child hunger isn’t down to families being too selfish to budget - austerity, the paucity of universal credit, and the fact housing and living costs have grown far faster than wages and benefits, so poverty has grown. It’s that simple.

Benefits are set at the lowest possible level, there’s no secret cheat code to live a comfortable life on the bare minimum. In one dreadful reality 2010 TV ‘experiment’ called Tower Block of Commons, they asked MPs to live on benefits for a week, and the Tory hid £50 in her bra.

A used 50-inch tv goes for 150 - 200 quid on ebay and they go very quiet when you ask them how long a measly 200 quid would last paying bills and utilities. Tories have real trouble updating their go to arguments, would an elderly tory even know what the "latest trainers" were?

Yep. We got given TVs whenever family members upgraded, but *still* couldn’t afford much food. Or the heating on. And shared baths. My mum wasn’t spending all her child benefit on mink coats, it’s set at a level to impoverish you.

Also not accounting for 2ndhand stuff at all - our 2 Yr old 40" flat screen was £30 on a local selling site. Phones are all hand me downs from family who upgrade. Kids branded clothes from hand-me-downs/ebay. I can't buy 2ndhand rent/food/gas/petrol though
