Born in 1946 and brought up in Cupar, Fife, I was educated at the local school - 
It comes after the Moray MP and his colleagues failed to support the measure in a vote at Westminster last week.
The decision has seen an overwhelming public outcry with many businesses offering to provide free school meals instead.
More than 2,000 paediatricians also signed an open letter to the Prime Minister at the weekend urging him to follow Scotland’s lead in providing free school meals over the coming holidays.
Earlier this month, the Scottish Government announced a £10million package of funding to continue free school meals over the coming holidays.
The policy has been funded from existing budgets after the Tory government cut off Barnett consequentials for the policy.
Commenting, Stewart Stevenson MSP said:
“There has been palpable public anger over the UK Government’s decision to vote against providing free school meals.
“Businesses already impacted by the coronavirus pandemic are offering to provide free school meals despite struggling themselves.
“Moray MP Douglas Ross and his colleagues at Westminster have made a catastrophic error of judgement.
“Mr Ross completely failed his first test of leadership and if he wants to salvage any credibility he must back calls for a U-turn.
"The Scottish Tories have an abysmal voting record at Westminster. In the past few months alone, they have voted to impose an extreme Brexit against Scotland's will, backed a power grab on the Scottish Parliament, voted against protecting Scottish food standards, opposed human rights for refugee children, and backed Tory plans to scrap the furlough scheme - putting millions of jobs and businesses at risk during a pandemic.
"It is clear, that they are the same old toxic Tory party that they have always been - and they are lurching even further to the right under Douglas Ross.
"The SNP government has rightly committed to £10million of funding to continue free school meals in Scotland over the coming holidays - but we have had to find this money from existing budgets, which could have been spent in other areas were it not for Tory cuts.^
