LABOUR increased pressure on Education Secretary Gavin Williamson to resign for letting down children being homeschooled during the pandemic, ahead of this evening’s Commons votes on several education and welfare policies.

The party used opposition day to debate free school meals, a reversal of the government’s plan to cut universal credit (UC) and access to home learning for children without laptops and internet.

The votes are due to take place after the Morning Star goes to press.
