Chefs and campaigners Melissa Hemsley and Tom Kerridge serve a hot meal to Munira Wilson MP
(Picture: Daniel Hambury/Stella Pictures Ltd)Politicians were given a stark taste of what some hungry schoolchildren face every day at an event to highlight the “superpowers” of free school meals.
Dozens of politicians, campaigners and charity workers took part in the Feed the Future event in Westminster. They were faced with the reality of life in the school canteen for many children in poverty when some were given a hot meal served by chefs Tom Kerridge and Melissa Hemsley, and others were given vouchers for a cold packed lunch.
