A Labour MP has said the stigma of receiving free school meals stayed with her all her life - as she urged Keir Starmer to commit to extending free lunches to all primary kids.
Sharon Hodgson, who was the Labour leader’s Commons aide until only a few months ago, threw her weight behind the Mirror’s campaign for universal free school meals in primary schools.
The Washington and Sunderland West MP called for the policy to be in Labour’s election manifesto and said “so many” Labour MPs backed the move.
