📢 From September 2026, every child in a household on Universal Credit will be entitled to a free school meal

👪 This will put nearly £500 more in parents’ pockets and will make a real difference for families struggling with the cost of living here in Liverpool
🚨 NEW: Labour is lifting 100,000 children out of poverty by expanding access to free school meals.

Alongside free breakfast clubs, cheaper uniform costs and government-funded childcare, Labour is putting money in parents’ pockets and giving children the best start in life.

1) Renters right bill
2) Biggest employment rights package in a generation
3) Billions of pounds extra into our NHS, with waiting lists falling month on month
4) Punishing water company bosses who dump sewage in our rivers

Told Labour canvasser the other day I was going to vote Green again and he said he understood you have to vote with your heart "but it's either us or Reform". Tried to ask if he had any positive reasons to vote Labour but he was already walking away.
