Oliver said he is 'completely not' part of the so-called anti-growth coalition. I've spent a lifetime not only employing over 20,000 people but travelling around the world saying how brilliant Britain is,' he said

I've spent a lifetime not only employing over 20,000 people but travelling around the world saying how brilliant Britain is," he said.The celebrity chef continued:"The reality is, if you speak to the best minds in economics, in the country, in the world, they will tell you that if you output healthier kids, you're going to have a more productive, more profitable country, better GDP. To do that, you have to think in 10 to 20 years, not three-year cycles.

Oliver suggested he was"up for the fight" on scrapping junk food multibuy deals despite having"no faith" that Ms Truss would change her views on the matter.Oliver added:"I think more importantly... if you can create an environment where every child has the ability to thrive at school, we know in every way, shape and form that kids who have a decent lunch and breakfast learn better, their educational attainment is better... but no-one's taken it seriously yet.

He also called for"kindness" to be"injected through this party", adding:"And I don't know if they've got it in them to show this kindness." In response to the chef's comments about kindness, the PM's official spokesman said:"This is a government that takes action to protect people." On Oliver's call for wider access to free school meals, the spokesman added:"We do provide a significant number of families with free school meals. Obviously we need to make sure we're setting the right balance."
