Sadiq Khan has urged Keir Starmer to adopt universal free school meals for all primary pupils in Labour's next manifesto.
The London Mayor, who grew up receiving free school meals, piled the pressure on the Labour leadership to get behind our campaign to expand free lunch provision to ensure no youngster goes hungry.
The Mirror and the National Education Union's (NEU) have joined forces for the Free School Meals for All campaign, calling on Liz Truss to act as families struggle with the cost of living crisis.
Addressing a Labour conference fringe event, Mr Khan described the "shame and stigma" he felt while queuing up to get his tokens for free school meals.
He said: "I grew up on free school meals and it was a lifeline for families like mine.
