marcus rashford, i mean, i am a lobbyist, as you know, but i think marcus rashford is currently the mostntry. you know, he got a gong, he got an mbe for his campaign over the summer, and he has come back for more. you would have thought that the recognition of what he did in the recognition of what he did in the summer would have made the government sit back and think. i was hearing earlier this week that the government only won the vote in the middle of the last week on the labour motion to provide kids with school meals because they said, actually, we will probably want to come up with a free school meals offer for christmas, santa carrying his sack to give kids the meals that they need at that point. but you know, in terms of trying to detoxify their conservative brand, it has not beena their conservative brand, it has not been a particularly good week. you know, the tories are just looking like they couldn't care. they might have to have a rethink. staying with the observer, penny, prime minister waiting for us poll result before brexit move, whether borisjohnson will, you know, push

and marcus rashford has done a brilliantjob. family. and marcus rashford has done a brilliant job.lliantjob. unfortunately, he has made a huge difference and the government has been put on the spot here. this is a footballer who has played brilliant political football if you like. and he set up a petition that has nearly1 million signatures already. he is doing a greatjob and the government is clearly going to have to respond, its own mps are saying "we are not co mforta ble its own mps are saying "we are not comfortable with the way this is going." soi comfortable with the way this is going." so i hope that this plan will be one way of moving forward. interestingly, marcus rashford's faces on the front of the yorkshire post and you can pick up on this mihir because the headline there is holiday clubs, one of those measures it seems not enough to feed children. yes, the holiday clubs we re children. yes, the holiday clubs were set up in the summer to feed the children. in fact the yorkshire post story also quotes the food tsar who sets the plan just did not work and would not work.

because of a campaign by one marcus rashford. that the calculation being made today in downing street is if the policy is worth the pain and the bad pr they are getting. you have paediatricians lining up as a big government should think again. community groups are stepping in to provide skill to make free school meals over the break. many mps are saying publicly that the government to change its policy. 0n the government to change its policy. on top of that the labor party is saying they will bring another vote on this issue. 0ne assumes that it will be sometime after parliament sitting next week. a question that should be asked is whether concerted mps want to line up and vote against the idea of free school meals. —— labour. this would not be halftime but for christmas because it would apply to that holiday and that would turn an already omitted debate into even more of one. turn an already omitted debate into even more of one. for turn an already omitted debate into even more of one. for now, jessica, thank you. we'll be joine

the same honour goes to footballer marcus rashford for services to vulnerable children.fully campaigned for more than a million pupils to receive free school meals over the summer. i actually took my time to just read it and, you know, understand as much as possible about it so it was definitely, you know, a proud moment. what i'd like to do, now that i'm in this position, is to speak directly to the prime minister and, you know, just really ask for the vouchers to be extended until... at least until october half term, because i think that's what the families need. there were nearly 1,500 honours, including six sage members, who provided scientific advice to the government. but its front line workers and volunteers who dominate. unsung heroes like laura winningham 0be, whose charity has provided nearly four million free meals to those in need since the start of lockdown. we were delivering to homeless shelters, homes forwomen fleeing domestic violence, homes with refugees, people that were destitute, with absolutely no access to public funds or food. people were literall

i had to say, ijustjoin marcus rashford in complete despair. honourable as i think it is. i think it is absolutely damning that one million children who are living in poverty are the children who would be covered with these measures, which would be extending free school meals to the holidays. if you watch the debate in the commons today, some of the things that were said we re some of the things that were said were absolutely appalling. blaming parents, saying they should be able to look after their children as if any parents wants to leave their child hungry. 0ne any parents wants to leave their child hungry. one thing is i think people will be looking at this and saying there is about 500 million, £12 billion went largely to private corporations for test and trace that isn't working we need it to. this money, the conservatives aren't willing to give to children, i think the second thing is a broader context. perhaps this is if we look at the broader issue, because this has increased drastically over the past ten years. we should be in a situa

this is a campaign that was driven by somebody who is not a politician, marcus rashford.ing that they have signed this open letter saying that these children and their families are letter saying that these children and theirfamilies are in a unique position because of this pandemic and that no child should go hungry. they said, we believe that children should not have to depend on potluck charity and they should be official, organised, government support across the nation, so this is one of these issues that does bring in a lot of people from outside politics and that puts a very different kind of pressure on the government as well, but at the moment, no indication that they are looking to move on this in england. thank you, helen. nicola sturgeon has announced a new tiered system of coronavirus restrictions for scotland, which will come into force a week on monday. unlike england, it will have five levels. our correspondent, james shaw, gave us more details about what ms sturgeon had to say. level zero, that the first one, is essentially as close to normality as you can
