Checking in: on the news about Child Poverty strategy being postponed and free school meals in England being expanded

Even though I really welcome the news, about Free school meals being expanded to include anyone on Universal Credit whether you're working or not, I am slightly disappointed that both this and the Child Poverty Strategy won't be implemented immediately as I believe it is immediately that we need this change to take place because of the cost of living crisis we're still in.

I also wish that the expansion of free school meals in England could also apply to every family on Universal Credit in the devolved nations as well.
