The leadership will come under pressure to be more radical at a key meeting with unions and party members.
But at a meeting of the party's policy-making body this weekend in Nottingham, they will be pushed to make more spending commitments.The National Policy Forum consists of ordinary party members, representatives from the trade unions and members of the shadow cabinet.
Last week, Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner said that while she would "love" to give all kids free meals, "there isn't an endless supply of money".But the leadership has been under pressure - with the Labour-supporting Mirror newspaper and the National Education Union which does not have formal links to the party - mounting campaigns for free meals.
The difficulty for the leadership is that their critics on these issues are not just the "usual suspects" on the party's left, so the pressure for change is greater. Some amendments - mostly, though not entirely, from supporters of the leadership - have been agreed even before this weekend's meeting gets under way.
