A host of well known faces today throw their weight behind the Mirror's push for 'Free School Meals for All' to end child hunger and boost children's life chances by ensuring they get a nutritious hot dinner. Succession star Brian Cox and Fleabag's Phoebe Waller-Bridge joined pop star Dua Lipa and chefs Nadiya Hussain, Tom Kerridge, Thomasina Miers and Yotam Ottenlenghi in signing an open letter to Rishi Sunak calling for an end to the child hunger "epidemic". More than 4 million children were living in homes without proper access to food last year, where families reported skipping meals, eating less, or going hungry all day. But the Tories have resisted calls to widen provision to help cash-strapped families already grappling with spiralling food and fuel bills. You can sign the open letter to the Prime Minister here. The letter, also signed by writer Armando Iannuci and presenter Konnie Huq, said: "We are writing to urge you to extend Free School Meal provision to every primary school child in England. We are living through the greatest cost of living crisis in a generation, and too many families with young children are being pulled into poverty. "Free school meals for every child will put money back in parents' pockets. That's money they can use to pay for other essentials for their children, from heating and food at home to hobbies and after-school clubs. Teachers and support staff see the difference a healthy school dinner makes. When children are hungry, they can't learn. It's hard for them to concentrate and harder for them to reach their potential. Free School Meals for all would mean every child can learn and succeed." Under current rules, children){kind=link}
