GAVIN WILLIAMSON should resign as Education Secretary over the scandal of meagre free school meals being given to homeschooled children during the current lockdown, his Labour counterpart said today.

Shadow education secretary Kate Green said that Mr Williamson “plainly isn’t up to the job” and that the public had “run out of patience” with him.

This is the first time that Ms Green has called on the Education Secretary to quit, despite his shambolic handling of last summer’s school exams which saw the government make an 11th hour U-turn on downgraded results.
