I wrote the 1997 Labour manifesto which created DFID. I have seen the good it has done around the world & for Britain and its influence. Please let’s not throw away the good ideas (and good people) who made it tick. They are needed NOW to fight COVID. bbc.com/news/uk-politics-530…

Jesus! @BorisJohnson says he was only aware of the free school meals campaign today. The Tory MP who chairs the education select committee has been on this for weeks. How on earth does this clown fill his day?
