Summary

Last night, MPs controversially voted down Marcus Rashford’s bid to extend free school meals over half term. The bid, tabled by Labour to give each disadvantaged child a £15 a week food voucher, was defeated by 322 votes to 261 - with a majority of 61. We're going to talk about hungry children today, and *try* to fathom why ANYONE would vote against feeding them. This is a catch-up version of James O'Brien's live, daily show on LBC Radio. To join the conversation call: 0345 60 60 973
