@paulb3017 a sneaky bit of mischief specifically aimed at embarrassing the government hardly a week into its tenure. They knew it would not pass, they knew some #corbynista would vote for it which would test #stamers grip on the party. It was a stunt. It had nothing to do with their concern for child poverty. But it does allow for a pompous high ground from which to point a sinewy finger.

I don’t blame you for not grasping the politics at play here. It’s quite devious.
