But in Special article for Independent About declaration Extend over 500,000 free school food of poorest studentsMs. Reeves underlined her record of trying to recreate the economy in favor of less well shutdown.
Chancellor Margaret has bent over her childhood experience during the years of Margaret Thatcher, where she recalls school lessons in prefab huts, stating that “a sense of injustice” was scattered.
Ms. Reeves has previously spoken of “difficult options”, which she is forced to create due to heritage from Tories. But she emphasized her piece as to how she has received money for free school food and – at a time when she is setting fire to make £ 5BN in disability profit – and from 2026, there was also cash for the above -growing growth for universal credit.

Chancellor has often been accused of getting out of cold and touch by his critics, with some options that he has created since coming to the office. She is currently looking for an estimated £ 5BN, which is required for millions of pensioners to reverse his deduction for winter fuel payment and eliminate two-child profit cap.
The most difficult fight is with the Ministry of Housing of Ms. Rainer, communities and local government (MHCLG), where Deputy Prime Minister is opposing funds for the councils and opposing housing budget cuts.
But Ms. Reeves has seen her own background as the daughter of teachers of primary school in South East London, so that she can explain her own philosophy as she contacts her announcement next week.
She said: “Like most people, my politics was taking shape from my upbringing. I grew up under the governments of Margaret Thatcher and John Major in the 1980s and 1990s. I already saw the impact in the state schools of my country.
“My sixth form was placed in a couple of prefab huts in the playground. The library, which means the learning sanctuary turned into only one orbit because there were more students than space.
“I felt then, as I do now, that gradual orthodox governments did not care about schools like me, communities like me, or children with whom I grew up.
She left: “The feeling of injustice is that I joined the labor party. I wanted to do something about it. I want to deal with some burning injustice within my society. I wanted to give every child to every child, whatever their background, the same opportunity to flourish.
“This is the same inspiration that runs me as today’s Chancellor.”
He highlighted how he had brought in the policies on the left side to close the gap between rich and common people in Britain.
He said, “I abolished tax loafol, which exempt private schools from VAT and commercial rates so that we can invest more money in our state schools,” she said.
“I have kept the money aside to roll out free breakfast clubs in every primary school to put more pounds in my parents’ pockets and give children the best beginning. And that is why we have announced today that from next year we are giving every child to every child with parents in getting universal credit free school food.”
He said: “Britain’s renewal is about people. It is about the next generation. By investing in our children, we are investing in the future of our country, making sure that every young man can fulfill his ability, and that Britain can thrive. It is a promise to change. It is a promise. It is a promise that we are distributing.”
This intervention comes as her team in Ms. Reeves and Treasury, which braces himself for criticizing the expected deduction in her spending review, which determines government finance for the next week to come.
Already, senior labor data has attacked him privately to stick to his election manifesto, which vows not to increase the Income Tax, VAT or employee contribution in national insurance.
