Scotland’s most powerful politicians have been accused of “flagrant duplicity” after failing to turn up for a crunch vote on free school meals.
Both First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Greens leader Patrick Harvie – her governing coalition partner at Holyrood – didn’t even bother voting.
They had the opportunity to support groundbreaking legislation that would have ensured every pupil at primary and secondary schools had access to a meal if they wanted one.
