The upshot is that China, the EU and the US are part of the School Meals Coalition, led by developing nations to push for universal access to free school meals by 2030 as a response to rising hunger. Britain is nowhere to be seen"
Good editorial on how universal free school meals are a no-brainer.

"Surely the first priorities of people that need financial support from the government - the priorities are a roof over their head, warmth, heating and eating. You would prioritise making sure that their kids eat"
Tom Kerridge, Chef (who received free school meals as a child).

We need to build progressive consensus for “free at point of access” basic services, against false economy of austerity & welfare conditionality (bureaucratic, wasteful, stigmatising)

Congratulations to London for agreeing universal free school meals! Research confirms everyone benefits from universal provision, just like the other things that are ‘free’ at school like pencils, paper and sport equipment.

'#FreeSchoolMeals will be offered to all primary school pupils across London for a year under plans by Sadiq Khan.'
'Will come into force from September, saving families £440 for every child and benefiting 270,000 children.'
'Mayor himself received free school meals as a boy, said he hoped move would help “reduce stigma that can be associated with being singled out as low-income”
'One-off proposal, worth £130m funded from higher-than-expected business rates income.'
