Boris Johnson faces school dinner backlash

The British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has insisted that no children would go hungry due to "inattention" by his Government as he faced a backlash over the refusal to provide free school meals in England over half-term.

Dozens of people from a range of organisations, including Conservative-led councils, have stepped in to help, but Mr Johnson insisted Government support to local authorities and charities had helped. The Prime Minister said he had not spoken to Mr Rashford since June "but what he is doing is terrific".

Manchester United star Rashford has used his social media profiled to highlight examples of businesses that have pledged to help with meals for local children. Announcing almost 3,300 youngsters would receive £15 vouchers from their schools to cover the cost of meals during the holiday, Kensington and Chelsea council, which is also Tory-run, said: "No kid should go hungry."

"What we don't want is people within Warwickshire feeling anxious, feeling worried and children going hungry during this half-term period," she said.

Pmacgiollabhain And that is one thing about BorisJohnson you can trust him, he is a man of his word.

I think what has become clear over the last few months, and from this issue, is that he actually only controls England. There are already free school meals during holidays in Wales, Scotland, and NI I believe, only England does not provide. Go Boris, you’ll break up the UK. 👍

Yeah right Boris.

The man who apparently does not even know how many children he has fathered, feigns concern for children he has no connection with - what a liar!

A disgrace of a man and it’s taking a young lad from a deprived area of Manchester to show him up! Salute u Marcus. ❤️

BorisJohnson is on another planet.

“Inattention... “

About time too.!!

Was that not 'part of' Thatchers downfall? 'Maggie Thatcher, the milk snatcher'.

He looks like he never had to do without.

He can do as he wants for another 4 years

Because the parent or parents are to lazy or have no cooking skills what so ever !!

Pie in the face lol
