Rejected petition DO NOT LET THIS INHUMANE GOVERNMENT ABOLISH FREE SCHOOL MEALS FOR CHILDREN

I was a child who received free school meals, without that meal I wouldn’t have eaten.

Millions of families in the UK are already forced to access food banks so that their child/children can have dinner, let alone a lunch meal too.

More details

A majority of MPs who have voted for this have claimed back their Zone 1 lunches and alcohol on expenses. They are the wealthiest people. Why are they getting free meals and refusing a child of these rights?

Millions of children are already suffering mental health issues from such a young age, and the behaviour of this government is contributing to this. It’s cruel, it’s inhumane & needs be to brought to attention.

The children are our future and we should be doing what we can to stop this.
