The Lib Dems have thrown their weight behind the Mirror’s campaign to give all primary school children free school meals.
The party’s education spokeswoman said the move would be “crucial” for youngsters. Munira Wilson also spoke of her “disappointment” at Labour leader Keir Starmer’s rejection of the plan.
Mrs Wilson said her party has a “proud history on free school meals” and stressed that during the 2010-15 coalition government, it “fought very, very hard to make sure that every infant child gets a free school meal”. She added: “We would love to go further and roll it out to all primary children.”
