Scotland could become the first UK nation to provide free breakfasts and lunches to every primary school child all year round, after the SNP pledged to do so if re-elected next May.

Speaking at the party’s conference, the Scottish education secretary, John Swinney, made the policy commitment as he claimed that the UK chancellor Rishi Sunak’s “second wave of austerity” would unleash a “tsunami of child poverty” in Scotland.

Sensible socialism in action. Nobody gets left behind.

Free? Who's paying for it?

And aren't poor kids in the west fat enough?

Here in America, Trump provides food stamps to millions of poverty stricken families so they can pick up cereal and coffee to feed their kids at home at no cost to them.

Great program, as different kids like different quality cereals. Cap'n Crunch, Count Chocula and Sugar Pops all have their advocates, as well as ethnic inspired cereals like the Irish Lucky Charms.

It's British food. It's not like they will enjoy it. Haggis day is the high point of the week.

Shit! Trump provides...are you fuckin' crazy? the SNAP program is hated by the Right...and well you know it.

I note that you just can't help being snarky at the expense of children who are living in poverty--coffee and cereal indeed.

BTW..where I live..we have been giving kids free lunch and breakfast for years..yeah..in that reddest of states..Idaho. Even during the lock-down...volunteers prepared and distributed meals to every kid in public school...and we don't impose a means test--since we think it is the right thing to do.

Taxpayers aren't paying. We are 27 trillion (probably far higher) in debt.
