EMBARGO: Immediate Release 

Commenting on reports that the government could be cutting free school meals for younger children, Liberal Democrat Education Spokesperson Munira Wilson MP said:

"Children cannot be expected to learn on empty stomachs.

“If the government go ahead with this, they should hang their heads in shame as they slash free school meals, while giving a tax cut to Musk and other tech billionaires.
