@ChrisMayLA6 As I was saying ... Because why would feeding starving children be a vote winner? π€¬
"Labour MPs βintensely lobbyingβ Keir Starmer to commit to universal free school meals.
LABOUR MAINTAINS THAT UNIVERSAL FREE SCHOOL MEALS βIS NOT A LABOUR POLICY* ... "

This is a huge step forward for kids in #London
By making free school meals universal, the stigma disappears & every kid will have the opportunity to fulfil their potential rather than feeling ill, because theyβre so hungry

Today at #PMQs I asked the PM about the injustice of 4 million children in hunger in the UK, including many in West Derby.
I asked the PM to meet with me to discuss how investment in Universal Free School Meals could address this scandal.

Today at @CommonsEFRA@twitter.com we heard yet more incredibly powerful evidence about why we need universal free school meals for every child in education.
The evidence came from @MichaelFakhri@twitter.com who told Parliament why it is one of his top recommendations.

Many short films like this are pitched as inspirational "if I can do it, you can too" stories and ignore the systemic barriers that some people are facing.
I think this gets it right, tells Ryan's story and offers two key points for me:
"If it wasn't for free school meals, I wouldn't have had an education."
"Simon Jones offered me a gateway to employment through the Outdoor Partnership"
