I might argue that nicking food from shops when you’re broke is morally justifiable, but we don’t just get to follow laws we agree with and this is a deeply unwise precedent for a politician to set.

The government appears to be mistaken about the priority given to X by "families" in the UK
If there is an argument then this is the argument. But lol I can’t find where this obviously false stat is coming from. And if the government does believe more than half the families in the UK are using it as their primary news source then woah maybe time to up the scrutiny of it!
