The Government’s own food czar today lambasted ministers for not “doing enough” to feed hungry children. Henry Dimbleby, the head of the national food strategy, also argued that giving struggling families “in-kind support” through providing food, education and holiday clubs was more effective than putting the same “small amount of money” into Universal Credit. His hard-hitting intervention piled further pressure on Boris Johnson who has faced a wave of calls to do a U-turn to fund free school meals during half-term after a campaign led by England footballer Marcus Rashford. It also came as The Standard revealed that the Cabinet Office spent more than £24 million on travel, hospitality and subsistence last year — almost exactly the sum estimated to be needed to pay for the meals. Mr Dimbleby, co-founder of restaurant chain Leon, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “This problem is real, it should go without saying it’s serious, it’s immediate and it’s going to get worse as employment gets worse and the Government isn’t doing enough. One in seven families already are reporting not to be able to afford enough food.” Mr Dimbleby said he has been lobbying ministers to act. “But ... the dark centre of Government is invisible to me and I have no idea exactly what they’re working on as we speak,” he said. Official documents show that the Cabinet Office, which includes No 10, spent £24.4 million on travel, hospitality and subsistence in 2019/20. The Government has argued that supporting families through the benefits system and with £63 million more for councils is a better way than free school meals during holidays to tackle child hunger. A minister today hinted that Mr Johnson will use holiday clubs to end the row which has left the Government facing anger from the public and a growing number of Tory MPs. Business minister Nadhim Zahawi suggested the Government could “learn from” the holiday clubs piloted over the summer. Mr Johnson is reportedly studying a plan by Mr Dimbleby. His Holiday Activity and Food programme was piloted across 17 local authorities. Mr Zahawi told Sky News: “These are incredibly important pilots, and we will look at how we can learn from those and how we can build on this.

The mother of a toddler who died after a car crushed her pushchair today paid tribute to her "angel". The 22-month-old girl was killed after the vehicle mounted the pavement in Eastcote Road, Ruislip, west London, at 4.15pm on Sunday. Paying tribute today, her mother said the little girl had "the most beautiful smile". She said: "She had the most beautiful smile, and her eyes were always full of love and laughter. She was our angel, our everything and there isn’t a moment that we could stop thinking about her.” Witnesses told how the woman screamed “my baby, my baby” after the crash took place. The vehicle also ploughed into the woman and her husband as they walked home from the park pushing the buggy. The impact threw the toddler’s father into a hedge. Police said a man in his forties was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, causing serious injury while driving and driving whilst unfit through drugs. Witness Alan Newton, 61, said: “It was horrendous. The father had a damaged shoulder and head injury. The pram was completely crushed. There was no hope for the little one. The mother was shouting, ‘my baby, my baby’ over and over again. "The father was just distraught. The paramedics came and the police, some of whom couldn’t look it was so distressing. They held their heads in their hands. They said it was the worst thing they had ever seen.” The father, in his thirties, was taken to hospital where his condition was initially deemed critical. He has since been discharged. Police, including some off-duty officers, were among emergency services who tried to save the child but she was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver was interviewed in custody before being released on bail. Mr Newton said: “This poor family were on the pavement walking home from their routine evening trip to the park. It’s a tragedy.” Flowers have been placed at the scene. Police said the family was being supported by specially trained officers. Detective Sergeant Sarah Donegan, of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, appealed for witnesses or anyone with dashcam or CCTV footage to come forward. Meanwhile, a mother killed in a suspected hit-and-run on Friday night has been named as 21-year-old Rhiannon Hall. Ms Hall, a pedestrian, was hit by a car in London Road, near the junction with Garth Road, Cheam. The driver failed to stop but was arrested a short time later on suspicion of drink driving. He was taken to a police station for questioning and has been released under investigation. Any witnesses to the toddler’s death can call police on 020 8246 9820 or 101, quoting CAD 4892/25OCT20 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
