Labour vows to force another Commons vote on free school meals

Labour has thrown down the gauntlet to Downing Street by pledging to force another Commons vote if it does not U-turn on its refusal to provide free school meals in England during the holidays, as a senior Conservative MP admitted the government has misjudged the country’s mood over the issue.

I don't know if it has occurred to anyone else but Rashfords childhood hardships happened under a Labour government. No surprise there then.

how about means testing MPs so the tax payer doesn’t subsidize those rich ones scrounging off the state at HouseofCommons restaurants & bars. get a grip on reality moralcompass Keir_Starmer

The roar of the labour party from the supposedly independent newspaper with no vested interests

I’ve been delivering food to the vulnerable today organised by a local lady working with Social Services. I’m also an NHS volunteer; had to reject two notifications for & go off duty because I can’t do both.I hope the Gov don”t claim credit for work local communities are doing.

We're waiting Mr Rashford! You can provide 86,000 free school meals, a week, on your salary. You're also worth £65 million and swan around in 3 different Super Cars. What you waiting for? Maybe a 90% tax on grossly overpaid football players?

The argument over half-term is passed but in 3-4 weeks Christmas will be in sight. I suspect Gov will cave to avoid a 'scrooge' vote in run up to miserable Christmas. FSM should be in Govs bag of Xmas goodies but don't underestimate ability to get this wrong.

Stealing from the responsible to reward the irresponsible. Welfare hasn't solved child poverty in the UK, it's encouraged it.

Someone better tell Douglas4Moray so he can organise another diary clash to avoid voting to feed hungry kids

Pointess if there is no Conservatives rebellion. UKLabour's hope is that constituents will be pressurising Tory MPs to change their mind.

Labour couldn't force out a fart
