Listening to Marcus Rashford's account re Johnson's "about turn" and phone call to him re today's announced provision of school meals for vulnerable kids in England through the summer hols. I must say that the Man U player cannot be a fan or is anywhere near Johnson or his Tory govt ideology and it was all good and well for the PM to praise Rashford's genuine concern and commitment to campaign for millions of kids who were gonna miss out with poss dire consequences. I'd love to listen to Rashford's private comments re this issue because the fact of the matter is that Johnson and his cronies were not gonna recognise the plight of another vulnerable group during this crisis but thankfully "came under severe fire" from various quarters, incl people from within their own political party, following Rashford's impassioned plea, and subsequently changed their stance.
