"A decade ago, the UK would have been at the forefront of anti-poverty efforts. Now it offers the world neither money nor ideas. 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).

Good editorial on #freeschoolmeals. Universal basic services a social good & pay for themselves. 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.
