Thousands of kind-hearted organisations have stepped in to help hungry children after cruel Tories rejected a move to provide meals during the school holidays.
Schools, businesses, sports clubs, charities and local councils are among those doing the right thing after footballer Marcus Rashford's appeal fell on deaf ears in the Commons.
On Wednesday 322 MPs voted against a Labour bid to make free school meals available during holidays for the next six months, while families grapple with the devastating effect of the pandemic.
The heartless outcome sparked outrage, but since then hundreds of groups have pledged to fill the gap themselves.
Among them are hospitality businesses which are already struggling after more than six months of disruption during the pandemic.
See the list below
One of them, the Duke's Head in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, said staff were "appalled" the free school meal call had been rejected, writing in a post shared by Rashford: "You ate out to help out, now it's our turn to help out."
And Vutie Beets cafe in Hertfordshire tweeted: "If the government won’t look out for the children in our community when they need it most, then we will."
That sentiment was echoed by Riddle & Finns in Brighton, which said in an Instagram post: "It is an absolute crying travesty that in this apparent most civilised and wealthy of nations, we need this kind of intervention, but please - don't suffer in silence."
Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, no stranger to bruising encounters with the government, this morning said his team had joined forces with the Co-Op to provide 1,000 meal vouchers during half term.
Fast-food giant McDonald's announced today it would be offering one million meals to families in need over the next two weeks.
Asda has also pledged to donate almost £100,000 to help keep families fed during the school holidays.
Furniture company ScS Sofas said it had donated 10,000 meals to feed children in Sunderland.
Manchester United and England star Rashford has shared messages of support from companies the length and breadth of the country.
He wrote: "Blown away by news of local businesses stepping up to fill the voucher scheme deficit during the October half term.
"Selflessness, kindness, togetherness, this is the England I know."
Rashford said after the vote that children would go to bed hungry and “feel like they do not matter”.
