By 10.30pm on Thursday, Rashford stated his intention: “Blown away by news of local businesses stepping up to fill the voucher scheme deficit during the October half term. Selflessness, kindness, togetherness, this is the England I know,” he tweeted. “Add #ENDCHILDFOODPOVERTY to your tweets so I can track them. I will share as many as I can.”
Posting his last tweet just before midnight, the footballer started up again at 7.49am. As one observer put it: “Marcus Rashford appears to have set up an alternative government.”

What's happening here? Are we no longer Guardian reading, yoghurt knitting touchy feely caring any more?
Johnson's cast himself as Scrooge just before Christmas.
The thing is though, another u-turn will make it look like a weak, reactive government that can be manipulated by twitter polls and footballers.
They've painted themselves into a corner. Plus tories are cunts:

I do hope Ben Bradley gets cancer.
Preferably one of the long drawn out ones.
Not another celebrity supermarket range.
In fairness, Rashford's excellent work has been discussed a number of times on relevant threads. But you're right, it deserves a thread of its own.
I don't have anything constructive to add. This mob really are the cunti di tutti cunti though.
Pretty clear that I'm about to get hammered across social media/papers for the crime of a tweet where the context wasn't as clear as I'd thought it was. Needless to say, I haven't said what I'm being accused of, nor would I ever. I'm sorry if others get dragged in to the fire.

I think he's a bit old to be having school dinners. Should someone call the Yewtree hotline?
Thank you for the thread Wibble.
What amazes me is that anyone could try and justify voting down the bill!
It reminds me of when I was arguing with a UKIPer about the snatching of the children's milk in the 70s by Thatcher. His argument went along the lines of "the milk shouldn't have been paid for out of the education budget".
WTF.
I forgot this one about Bradley, who doesn't think before he tweets.

Bradley is on Newsnight now.
Doesn’t want to “nationalise great work that’s already happening.”
Our dull MP who almost always votes with the gov is getting a lot of flak on the village FB page, with ordinary people organising and showing they're not cunts like him.
The bill was voted down by quite a large majority. Those thugs believe in the small state even more than Thatcher did.
It's all about preparing for Brexit, and the revival of self help when the supply lines fail.
Thatcher came to regret abolishing the free milk to juniors.

Really, do you have a link? I for one, had my milk 'snatched'.
I’ve worked with Ben Bradley (at a tangent, not together with him) and he is even more of a right-wing, self-obsessed shitgibbon IRL. And incredibly dense.
