This is a great initiative but it's incredibly sad that things have got to this point in the UK
If you need a helping hand this half term, from 26th October you can simply ‘ask for Henry’ at your nearest @Morrisons café, and you will be given a free Heinz Beanz meal.
1 meal per person per day, old or young, no questions asked, until stocks last.

An illuminating fact in yesterday's @popbitch newsletter: I Can't Sing: The X Factor Musical managed a longer run in the West End (45 days) than Liz Truss did in Downing Street before resigning (44 days)
My explainer on the controversial technique of cloud seeding for @TheWeekUK (with thanks to @zeitchikWaPo, @_LauraMack, @marisfessenden, @angRchen, @olliemilman & @joshwmarcus) 🌧️
Not much is known about the larger environmental risks of cloud seeding, although there are concerns that people hundreds of miles away, or even in neighbouring countries, could be affected by it.
