Has done well with housing and is to be much commended for ULEZ. But this isn't so good. Worth reading the thread.

Basically, the capacity to deliver all the free school meals costs money, especially in well off (more Tory) boroughs with relatively low numbers on free school meals. If you're a school in say Newham with high FSM numbers already it's probably easier to add a bit of a capacity to it (though that won't always be true). Had richer boroughs been carrying this capacity spare, they'd have (quite rightly) been told by their internal auditors that they were wasting money.

How does this get resolved?

Turns out Kahn’s sticking with ulez could have even bigger benefits - new research shows air pollution is linked to antibiotic resistance

I mentioned this before. Free school meals (without funding) is a shit sandwich for the boroughs. (edit- apologies, right tweet up now)

That's not going to swing the anti big Pharma mob.
