Some local councils, including Conservative-run local authorities, have pledged to continue the holiday voucher scheme in recent days.
He pointed to the government's uplift of Universal Credit and a £63m fund for local councils announced more than four months ago.The £20 a week increase to Universal Credit is scheduled to end in April, while the leader of one Conservative-run local authority has said any extra support for councils during the coronavirus crisis had already been spent.
"But we're also uplifing Universal Credit by £1,000 and we think that is one of the best ways you can help families in this tough time. "We're going to continue to do that. We don't want to see children going hungry this winter, this Christmas.Image:Mr Johnson had visited the hospital to mark the publication of a new review into hospital food.
Richard Watts, chair of the LGA's resources board, said:"Short-term hardship funding provided by the government this summer helped councils try and provide much-needed crisis support to all households - including those without children - struggling to afford food but also fuel and other essentials.
And why should he I have always found that footballers and clergy when getting involved in politics never go well wonga.com
Can you ask the PM if he's spoken to me about some of the social recommendations I've made in tweets to him please.
Boris Johnson is a disgusting and horrible man! He got a second chance at life yet this man shows world what a cruel person he is!
They voted... Yesterday’s chip paper.
Why isn't anyone demanding to know what LA's have done with the £ given from central office, to feed these kids? Why isn't MarcusRashford speaking to the heads of LA's and holding them to account? Too much hard work. Easier to gun for the leader of his opposition B.J. smdh
Why are parents that had children through IVF like James O'Brien only have number of children their purse can support?
Ignore him Boris, we all want to. Obscene salary he earns would pay for millions of meals rather than rip off the taxpayer.
Of course BorisJohnson will praise the campaign. It’s been moved to a charity concern rather than a government problem.
Look how much he gets
Normally you have to one of his own kids to get that kind of contact
🤦🏻♀️Out come all the paid bots saying why should he. PREDICTABLE. Boris LIED as usual saying they’d had a discussion about meals. Boris got caught out lying YET AGAIN.
Your partner in crime says you have had contact since June 2nd. Someone is lying. Not hard to guess who.
Why should he drop everything to speak to a spoilt millionaire footballer trying to be a Labour politician spokesperson
Why would he?
Can we replace children with parents? Parents should be making sure their children eat first.
Johnson is the laziest PM in history - no work ethic (delegates as much as he can) - and the work he does (begrudgingly) do, is sloppy, badly thought out and poorly delivered ToryScum
My MP matt_vickersmp praised it too. He said F you, voted against it then barred hundreds of his own constituents in a screaming rage on FB and Twitter on Saturday. Nice man.
String up all the mp's that rejected it c**ts
Why should the PM of UK ....be obliged to speak to him . Beggars belief.
For Boris's comment...
He can't wear a mask properly. No wonder the UK is Donald Ducked.
Marcus Rashford 😂 isn't sallynugent his mouthpiece and some dodgy agency?
This guy is our PM let that sink in
He's a footballer that's doing a campaign.. His importance is being way overhyped.
That picture is the job he should actually have the butcher!!+
