Petition: Don’t take away our free school meals! I’ve just signed to support this campaign – join me

The government is threatening to snatch away free school meals from the youngest children in its latest round of cuts. People did not vote Labour to see the party take food out of children's mouths. Sign the petition: r.ippl.es/school-meals/
