Newham Labour haven't delivered free school meals. The Government has used Newham as a pilot.

Like they have TORY-run Wolverhampton

Hi Anon

Nope - this is a Labour government (repeat, Labour) pilot but it is dependant on the local Council also making funding available.

If Wolverhampton is doing the same collective solutions to counter poverty then well done to them.

Anonymous - since Newham Labour back both the party in national government and at a local level, their claim has more validity than the Wolverhampton Tories - unless I missed the announcement by the parliamentary Tories that this scheme was worth piloting...
