Despite the polarising ills of the world, pretty much everyone agrees with one basic concept: no child deserves to go hungry. Unless, of course, you’re the Conservative Party.
In October, 322 Tory MPs voted against offering children free school meals during the Christmas holidays as part of a scheme to help low-income families.

The policy has been around for years, but Manchester United footballer Marcus Rashford campaigned to extend this outside of term time due to the economic hardship of COVID-19.
On Monday, the government made a sharp U-turn and agreed to spend £400 million on a winter grant scheme to support poor children and their families.
But considering that the job of being an MP also involves seeking government support (sometimes to an exorbitant degree – hello, expenses scandal), VICE UK thought it would be interesting to look into the living expenses of the Tory MPs who voted against free school meals for kids.
After all, the cost that they initially rejected amounted to only around £15 per child per week. How did that square up against the amount that they claimed over the last year for their expenses?
HOW THE LIST WAS CALCULATED
VICE UK added each expense that falls under the category of “accommodation” on the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority website during the 2019-20 tax year, including rent, utility bills and hotel stays, and rounded up the total. We also included miscellaneous fees that we interpreted as basic living expenses, such as moving house.
Some of the biggest claims include those by Health Secretary Matt Hancock, who claimed over £29,000 on accommodation expenses in the 2019/20 tax year – the most of any Cabinet minister.
Ipswich MP Tom Hunt appears to have one of the tightest wallets in Westminster – he clawed back a paltry £7.15 for phone rental at his London flat. On the other end of the spectrum is West Worcestershire MP Harriett Baldwin, who claimed a whopping £1,152.65 on internet and phone use in one year.
There’s also Milton Keynes South MP Iain Stewart who claimed £16,161 on hotel stays in London during the 2019/2020 tax year. Meanwhile, West Bromwich West MP Shaun Bailey claimed £410 of a non-returnable holding fee for a London property – proof that renting in the capital screws everyone over, unless you’re an MP and can claim the money back from the taxpayer.
Not every Tory MP who voted against the bill is here. Some MPs can’t claim for housing because they already live in London. Others aren’t eligible because they already receive property from the state, such as Boris Johnson in Number 10.
Some MPs, like Richard Drax of South Dorset or Oliver Dowden of Hertsmere, made no rent or hotel claims throughout the 2019/20 tax year, meaning it’s possible not to bleed the state dry for every phone bill. For many others, it seems like the basic MP salary of £81,932 – to be implemented in April 2021 after a controversial increase – just isn’t enough to cover the cost of living.
