‘Utterly revolting’: Angry Jacob Rees-Mogg backlash after he labels £25k food donation 'a scandal'



Commons leader Jacob Rees-Mogg labelled ‘utterly revolting’ after saying £25,000 Unicef donation for hungry children is ‘playing politics’

Unicef is helping UK children for first time in its history

Rees-Mogg claims donation is ‘a scandal’ as charity should be helping children in poorest countries



Jacob Rees-Mogg has sparked a furious backlash after saying Unicef should be “ashamed” of itself for “playing politics” following a donation to feed UK children over Christmas.

One Labour MP said Rees-Mogg’s words were an “utter disgrace”. Another said they were “utterly revolting”.

Unicef has handed £25,000 to the School Food Matters charity, which will use the money to supply 18,000 breakfast boxes to children and families in Southwark, south London, over the two-week Christmas school holidays.

The food boxes will go to families struggling as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. It is the first time the charity has helped UK children in its 70-year history.
