The most popular one has been extending free school meals to all primary school pupils. But as the game makes clear, there is precious little room for giveaways given the straitened budgetary times the UK is experiencing.

ALT Graphic reads: Wednesday 9 October 2024 On behalf of the whole country, I want to send my deepest condolences on the passing of the extraordinary Lily Ebert. Lily represented everything that was best about humanity. I think of her message of tolerance and hope; her courage to share her story and relive the horrors of her experience so that we might learn; her creativity and restless determination to be heard, which even led to her becoming a global star on TikTok. She was without doubt, one of this country's greatest centenarians. In Auschwitz, Lily made her now famous promise that if she survived, she would tell the world what happened. She kept that promise in the most remarkable way. With her passing today, we must now keep our promise to her. Together we will ensure that Lily's message echoes eternally across the generations - and that the Holocaust is never forgotten and never again repeated. May her memory be a blessing. Keir Starmer Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
