I like Mayor Sadiq Khan, he's had an extremely hostile opposing government, one that's made him beg for funding for the public transport system and one that's changed the entire Mayoral electoral system from a fair-ish one to a very unfair one, and various policing crises that get laid at his door, so nice to see him using his business tax windfall to help school kids when the government won't.

Plus a pandemic.

Further context: yes, it's the mayoral elections this year.

Even further context: while some boroughs do offer blanket free meals, most don't and during the school holidays in the pandemic, many children were going without a decent meal as the goverment voted to not provide them. My partner and many others stepped up in our borough along with the local rugby club who made the meals to deliver to children and families in need.
