SIR – Nicola Sturgeon will do anything and throw anybody under the bus in her destructive focus on independence (“Sturgeon’s Indyref2 strategy in disarray”, report, November 24).
An unnamed woman said she was angered after receiving a letter from her children s school
She admitted that she had found it difficult to keep up with payments for the meals, which work out at around £200 each month
The woman s husband is working and so the family are not eligible for Universal Credit or free school meals
Her story comes as a report revealed that more than 35,000 pupils in the North-East living below the poverty line do not qualify for free school meals
Children s advocacy groups are calling for the government to extend free school meals to ensure no child goes hungry
