Angela Rayner was in Runcorn today, speaking about Labour’s plans to build opportunities for young people amid backlash over recent benefit cuts. Visiting Palace Fields Primary Academy, one of 750 schools trialling a new government-funded breakfast club scheme, she painted a picture of a future focused on jobs, skills, and second chances.
The new breakfast club initiative, launched as part of Labour’s wider Plan for Change, is aimed at easing the burden on working families. The government says it could save parents up to £8,000 a year if children attend every school day — a major relief in a time of rising bills.
