Prime Minister Boris Johnson will provide a summer food fund for struggling families in England, bowing to pressure from England forward Marcus Rashford and his campaign to prevent children from going hungry during the coronavirus pandemic.

British ministers originally said school food vouchers would not be available over the long summer holiday, prompting the 22-year-old Manchester United forward to take up the cause and reveal how he had relied on such support as a boy.

“Owing to the coronavirus pandemic, the prime minister fully understands that children and parents face an entirely unprecedented situation over the summer. To reflect this we will be providing a COVID summer food fund,” his spokesman said. He has already helped to raise around 20 million pounds with charity Fareshare UK to supply meals to struggling families.

Another misleading headline

He didn't bow. He broke - caved in under huge and mouthing public pressure - and from one, a footballer, previously excoriated by the horrendous Hancock. Shambles in Government - though at least someone in number 10 is playing a blinder.

Now he has got that shitting mouth of that old witch.

And you're upset, we can see..

Great can he bow to public demands for EU deals and sacking Cummings?

This picture presumably shows BorisJohnson explaining how to perform a U-turn while flying a helicopter in a news-storm. Something that BoJo imagines that he is an expert at! Allegedly.

A RASH effect.
