Feeding children with free school meals is one of the noble causes of our age.
But too many who qualify go without during the holidays as families just above the breadline struggle to afford food during breaks.
One Direction singer Zayn Malik, a Bradford lad who relied on free school meals as a child, has added his voice to a campaign championed by the Mirror.
The free meals are a test of Rishi Sunak’s claim to be a compassionate Conservative. We will discover whether this Tory Prime Minister talks the talk when he swings his spending axe in the upcoming mini-Budget.
It would be awful if Sunak, the wealthiest Premier in Britain’s history, were to make the plight of millions of hungry children worse.
Common decency demands that in Britain we ensure that no pupil goes to school or bed hungry. A modern welfare state would recognise that every child matters.
Find the truth
Australian police should thoroughly investigate whether an elderly man living outside of Brisbane is, as a facial recognition expert believes, Lord Lucan.
The son of the nanny murdered by Lucan 48 years ago in particular deserves to know what really happened to the notorious killer who simply vanished, many believing he jumped from a ferry into the Channel.
With no body ever found, the mystery remains unsolved. The man in Queensland, aged 87, who proved a facial match in research by Professor Hassan Ugail – who previously identified Russian agents responsible for the Salisbury poisonings – requires questioning.
The truth of what happened to Lucan is out there. Let’s find it.

The Love Islander completed a trial and jumped out of a plane in her short jungle stint, so she will be gutted to go. At least she avoided having to meet love rat Matt Hancock.
