Labour shames government over poor free school meals

Labour's Shadow Children's and Early years minister Tulip Siddiq says the government has failed to get a grip on the provision of free school meals for families on low incomes during the latest lockdown.

It comes after pictures emerged on social media of poor supplies being distributed to families, failing to amount to the value of £30 or last for two weeks worth of meals.
