CHANCELLOR Rishi Sunak was asked to “come clean” today over his role in the government’s decision to deny free school meals to 1.4 million vulnerable children.
Labour’s demand came as grassroots protests continued in the constituencies of Tory MPs who shamefully voted against the party’s motion that meals be provided over the half-term and Christmas breaks.
The Treasury was reportedly responsible for blocking the proposal, estimated to cost around £22 million a week.
