THE Labour Party’s free school meals for all primary school children proposed is to be warmly welcomed.

This will help to overcome child poverty which has grown under the Tory government to a shocking four million, the highest figure for a decade! And child poverty will get worse under the Tories as they impose a child benefit cap which limits child tax credit to toe first two children in a family.

A punitive act which is expected to push another 200,000 children below the poverty line. Remember there is plenty of money in this country to pay for public and welfare services it’s just in the hands of an elite mega-rich who cream off the profits of our labour.
