- Around 1.3 million children in England will be able to claim vouchers for free school meals during the summer holidays, following a campaign led by the Manchester United footballer Marcus Rashford.
Ministers had previously said they would not agree to free school meals vouchers outside term time.
The prime minister Boris Johnson praised Mr Rashford's “contribution to the debate around poverty”.
Scotland and Wales will also continue with a voucher programme while Northern Ireland is considering an extension.
Huw Edwards presents BBC News at Ten reporting from Political Correspondent Vicki Young and Sports Correspondent Sally Nugent.

Remember this, before you go on abusing him.
When it takes a young football player to create effective change in this country you know this leadership is terrible.
Why, he is a smart man who wasnt looking for this, all he wanted was for children didnt suffer as he did...why is it your type never do any research.
@@blacksling9 hes just worried about sterling. That's why
@@blacksling9 The point you missed was that this should have been happening from the start and it shouldn't be on Rashford to make this happen, how you gonna talk about research when you couldn't grasp a simple point...
I’d say the food charity sustain was responsible for this not rashford . They have written to the Department of Education threatening to bring a judicial review of the decision.
The letter was sent by the food charity Sustain and the Good Law Project, led by the campaigning lawyer Jolyon Maugham.
Greg Nicho it’s not about research so stfu also what you mean your type all’s 12 year old can be smart but still young
I can't believe he'd take money out of hungry billionaire donors pockets
its ironic that educated rich people have a lot of things to pay and complain about tax not being a standard 12% for all no matter what you earn, yet I bet the working class would be even greedier and scummier if they were rich because of their background (in general). I think if there had to be something like this put in place those who worked hard and studied and worked their whole lives using their heads to do well in life should have this and those who simply get it because of modelling looks and or football (got lucky) should pay that ridiculous 50% tax. Thank god for HK
@@stunnymega calmm down
24bit and not give it to the needy. 😡
@@stunnymega You absolutely have no morals or manners. Classic classist.
@@stunnymega its food for the children who go to school and study for those high working jobs u fakin prat.
Good job Marcus for doing what's right and not forgetting where you come from👏👏👏
I’m an Arsenal fan but Rashford has earned my respect ✊
I am a liverpool fan, I respect him I'm on, free school meals
Let’s go gaming yeh, watch us get destroyed by City tommorow.
Fuck arsenal pussybois
No one gives a fuck who you support (Chelsea fan)
@@Josh-oy7zp KDB looks like a chubby ginger and Sterling has a bigger bum than a mali, should be an Arsenal win
Dev's definitely been cutting his own hair
I'm dying 😂😂😂
Traverse 😆 good one
An athlete and a gentleman.
Yup
Well done young man. A lot of children owe a lot to you.
This should be a thing despite the virus. Every year I see kids come back to school who seem almost weak.
then start a charity and begin collecting voluntary donations to pay for their lunches.
Stop threatening everyone with prisons unless they pay up. Most of the money the government takes isnt going to feeding children. Most of it is going to arresting you for wrongthink, or paying ideological lunatics money to brainwash you on the BBC.
@@terminsane Did you take your pills?
@@terminsane I'd rather live in a country where hungry children didn't need to rely on charity to get fed.
@@chiip90 you must be an awful person if you would let children starve, and would only help them if forced to by some authority.
@@terminsane Because "I would rather" we do something is the same as "let them starve".
Sir Marcus Rashford, actually
Give him an mbe like kane 😂
@@Beyondultragaming omg i didn't even know he had an mbe until i searched it lol
Wondered when that would come up by some idiot, multi millionaire getting FREE publicity by scum MSM Get your priorities right, anyone in front line NHS doctors or nurses deserves an honour before any overrated overpaid footballer 🏴🏴🏴
@@bobrail733 Pipe down Bobby Bobster. What he has done is an amazing thing. 'Overated' and 'Overpaid' are two incorrect terms. Marcus brings UTD millions, why shouldn't he be paid what he does? Overated? I don't even like UTD but you really need to rethink what you type.
bob rail why is rashy a idiot
Marcus is a very humble young man and has made alot of difference now to children, cant see any other footballer or even celebrity going out of their way to do this. I am so proud of him, and he plays for United too❤
Might aswell give rashford the job 😂✅
This is possible because a cricketer became a prime minister/president
The Beginner I think he was joking :/
@@rehmaismail7390 So was I.lol
Rehma Ismail I was but rashford probably better than Borris for the job 😂
Who knew the leader of the opposition was a footballer......
He isnt the leader of the opposition, he is just a caring man...who made a promise to himself at 8 and kept it!
@@blacksling9 He did more than the opposition.....
@@blacksling9 wooooooooooooooosh...
Well....Manchester always was Labour territory....
@@exsappermadman25055 he also did more than the present government wanted (to do).
This is something that BoJo’s government is financially capable of doing but chooses not to!! 😡
i mean this scheme costs the UK 120m, that kind of money is nothing even for iceland, let alone the 6-7th biggest economy in the world.
Remember that this guy wanted Brexit, so he could spend more on the UK, then he doesn't even feed hungry children in need.
Ok boomer
The reason rashford was starving is because his mum didn't make his dinner till 8 at night. His words.
jimmy2minutes where did he say that
Congratulations! This is a laudable effort Rashford
Thank you for your work on this all important campaign
Proud of this man, and the efforts of my birthplace country. I’m an American but i was born inEngland to a British mother and American father
@give me Chocolate Quite the contrary sir/ma’am. There are many parents that work while their children go to school. What’s the problem with the school picking up the costs? Everybody wins...healthier kids means a better attention span in class. That leads to better grades and a more educated youth. The youth then grow up to be more productive members of society. The small things matter in this world.
"Be the change you want to see, well done!⭐
Yessss
Not you BBC and not The Labour Party! Just him!!
I was disappointed that labour didn't do more starmer letting us down
He won against your fat hero Borris
IAN TOUGH Labour had refunding school meals in their manifesto - you lot laughed it off without even reading it, and now your incompetent government has been forced into an embarrassing u-turn. It shouldn’t have ever come to this but that’s what people like you voted for. Tories are always on the wrong side of every moral debate, enabled by the sun, the mail, and the morons who read them.
@gilkesisking I think starving children is more important than most issues
@gilkesisking you are right that poverty exited pre-eu and it would seem that the money given to the EU could be used to fix it but let's be honest Tories will just use it for tax cuts for rich
School meals are not free... They are paid for via the tax system...
They are free to the recipients, that is the point.
@@umarashraf7386 NO.. He is saying School meals are not free... They are paid for via the tax system...

God Bless you Marcus
Food poverty has always been a problem. Respect to Marcus for having the intelect to realise this.
Richard R they didn’t otherwise they would’ve done it himself u clown
On one hand you have JLings..... on the other you have Rashford actually using his fame and power to good things. He has a great mature mind for a 22yo
Why not.
He is old and selfish like boris.
People feeling entitled for others to pay for their poor life choices.
Lad is so humble 🙏🏿
Yup
Now for free barbers during school holidays. Young Dev has had a nightmare 😭
Haha...my thoughts too.
That is silly
Young Rashford will be an eternal inspiration to the youth of the UK, and spark the debate that the country has been waiting for ! ........what is equality, and why it matters ?
Richard R So providing needy children meals is Soviet Russia? So you think having people go hungry when we are one of the richest countries in the world is something to be proud of?
@@iangascoigne8231 if you cant afford to feed your kids dont have any, communism doesnt work
Luke Watson Whats providing needy children meals got to do with communism? Britain is one of the wealthiest countries in the world but poverty is rising. How is Britain a communist country when it has a Conservative government? How about the communism of allowing corporations to avoid tax and giving them handouts? No doubt you are in favour of that. More working people are relying in food banks. Also people’s circumstances change no doubt there are a lot of people who could afford their kids but have lost their jobs through no fault of their own. So they shouldn’t get help when they need it despite paying taxes? Your parents shouldn’t have had you since you haven’t got the intelligence to understand this.
Rashford is now the most effective opposition leader since Tony Blair.
I make him odds on, to take over from, erm what's his name again ?
Lord Strammer.
He is Good person, Really its importante to helper Poor's familiare s And studente s? Thank you Resfore.
Richard R English most likely isn’t this guys first language
bojo is too well fed to notice that kids are hungry
And I suppose Rashford rummages through the bins of Manchester every morning.
Michael Macleod No but he hasn’t always been a wealthy footballer either. He’s also spent his own money helping people in need.
@@michaelmacleod4713 - False argument. One does not have to be rummaging through bins in order to be concerned about hundreds of thousands of children going hungry in a supposedly first-world country. Marcus Rashford had the guts and compassion to speak up on an issue that had personally affected him as a child. Rather ask yourself why multi-millionaire Tories and their donors and corporate partners think it's OK for hundreds of thousands of English children to starve while they eat their fill and fill their coffers with impunity.
@@thumbprint7150 if you cant afford to have kids dont have any, dont make hard working and successful people pay for them. Socialism sucks and isnt fair
@Eren Yeager Then they can go to a food bank or use the benefits theyre already given to feed themselves. Theres more than enough support already out there.
From a Liverpool fan. Well done sir.
Great hero we should cheer to him we need more young voice in our political party for things move forward
Ah yes what a hero deciding we should pay for poor parents kids, they shouldnt have kids if they cant afford them.
Rip Kaite Hopkins. Lol 😂
best comment
Well done Marcus but it’s a sad state of affairs when so many children are going hungry in this country and it takes a footballer to get it changed as a Man Utd fan I am so proud of Marcus for what is the greatest goal of his life but saddened by what it takes in this country to get change...
I N S P I R A T I O N A W A R D 🌟
A good man I think its wonderful what he has done not forgetting his roots his mother must be very proud its just a pity it has taken something like this to make the government change this is Britain 2020 and no child should be hungry
As a huge LFC fan this guy deserves a medal for supporting people in need. By the look hes never forgot where he's come from. Where most footballer get disillusioned he seems to be a proper nice fella. Well done mate
Kids go hungry when parents make poor life choices and don't think of the important things children need. I grew up with only my mum around. I Didn't need free school meals at all growing up.
Great job Marcus, this world needs more people like you in this world. It’s actually sad and disappointing that a footballer is more in tune with the needs of a lot of people in this country than politicians who are elected to run this country 😒😒
Well done Marcus from a Liverpool fan, you did good
5 loaves & 2 fishes Marcus
Why do some absent fathers get away with it ?
Can they not afford £2 a day to feed their OWN children ?
That's our boy #ManchesterUnited
Thumbs up to this guy he as changed so much for all the kid's for our future needs be awarded for what he as done because he as been there he didn't get to where he was with it put on a plate for him I bet he as gone through lot's of ups and downs to get to what he is now so good on him not forgetting is past lot's of us start with nothing fair play to the guy.
Brilliant

Somebody give boris a comb or else an haircut.😬
GOODMAN
Good Job Rash!
Why doesn't this footballer pay he earns, thousands a week. Again the taxpayer is footing the bill
you clearly didn't watch the video.
Amazing how quickly both political parties jumped to align themselves with Marcus Rashford as if the free school meals campaign were a cause they’d championed in the first instance.
Fantastic achievement from this young footballer to have supported this worthy cause and have the government perform an about face when they’ve understood where public opinion lies.
I also want free stuff. i get hungry every day. why do i have to go out and hustle for myself and my family? damn why cant government look after me? I am a victim
Well said , the workers get nothing just taxed to the point we carnt afford food our self
As a liverpool fan this is very hard for me to praise a manc, but well done Marcus , total respect
Prime minster Marcus rashford !
So defundbbc are saying politicians are taking policy advise from footballers now. ?
Sir Marcus Rashford
He is man real man , respect Marcus .
What a decent and humble young man. His parents must be over the moon at how he has turned out. Thank you Mr Rashford
Well done Daniel
cos thats what heroes do
Marcus Rashford. A many talented person. Well done you.
BBC Personality of Year: Marcus Rashford
Yup
Sod off!😠
@@rchapman4444 no marcus rashford is the best
Nice
Fair play to him
They could not stomach to allow black man feeding British children. Some would be non-black. This would go against their dogma. That is why they changed their mind. Not for the love of the kids.
How can that kid not get good food look at his home its massive he’s even got a damn shed lmao 😂
@Elias Farah People's circumstances can change you know, the security of a "job for life" is not such a common thing anymore. Then there is this little matter of a pandemic & lockdown, hadn't you noticed?!
Itsa council home m8
ever heard of a council house dumbass😂 clearly the education system is not helping you
If this was an American news. The headline will be SOCCERBALLER Rashford help kids
The first kid looks like hes had enough food.
Enough unhealthy food.
So eat it.
He's a child you guys are so gross....
Bruv the only reason why you guys are saying nasty things about this little kid is because you guys are racist and we know that. Please go pick on someone your own size dont you guys have nothing better to do in life rather than picking on little kids
@@entertainmenttime8238 To be fair it's probably not a racist thing.
It's just that he looked quite chubby and says he eats healthy food.
Not that that's a bad thing,just people gotta be pricks tho.
I very much appreciate Mr Rashford’s outstanding timely public thoughts. But why didn’t our (upper class) government think of it themselves, I wonder? The British people are, it would seem, so easily manipulated by the media, that they really believe that this is an achievement by a thoughtful kid who can kick a ball? All power to him but FFS, we shouldn’t need this. Our government should have thought of it themselves.
That's why gautam gambhir choose ignoring Messi & Ronaldo
Good job Marcus!
Water cant but gas can 😂
Maybe him and his overpaid colleagues would do a salary swap with NHS nurses because I know who I value more
Please you myopic moron do some research dont let the first thing you do is assume the worse marcus has given quite a bit out of pocket, before this he has raised 25 million pounds fed 3 million meals and counting. This time man go research this lad before you make a bigger ass of yourself!
A Man with a proper heart. This man is amazing
Such a nice thoughful chap respect to marcus👍
This footballer is a prat
Given charity status because.....”they provide benefit to the public”.......private school fees are exempt from VAT.The public also pay the school fees of some military families.These tax rebates,between 2017-22,are estimated to be £522 million.If the Tory party are intent on “levelling up” and addressing inequality.........perhaps they should.......think again!
Why doesn't he donate a couple of million if he cares so much he is worth an estimated
£65 million, Thought not,
Why don't you do the same thing as he do
@@mochammadchoiry8741 I'm not the one complaining I'm not a millionaire, The governments has put in an extra 9 billion pounds into welfare university credit as gone up there is cheap food in the shops when one woma was told to buy certain items like veg and ect she said her children would not eat them well if they was hungry they would, Before the government keep splashing the tax payers money people should be asked what they are doing with the benefits they get one woman who has 5 children and a Sixth on the way was bragging how many hundreds of pounds she was given to live on yes people who are genuinely struggling should get help but it should be mean tested, We all ready have enough debt because of the pandemic,
@@snowyowel7961 so your complaining about someone doing something when your doing nothing
I do give to all kinds of charity when I can always have, , I'm not a millionaire if I was I would definitely give more, Trouble is to many wealthy celebraties talk the talk but don't always walk the walk,
I've never seen a skinny underfed child in the UK not so long ago they was on about children being to fat, Why not help the real staving in the world Ethiopia etc,
Children living in poverty starving no clean water no food no education no medication etc

Free School Meals matter

great video bro
Mad respect for rashford 🙌🏾
I think British doesn't needed free school meals to be provided in their country that's why I see many people are making fun of rashford in comment section 😏
Good lad
I've never seen so many negative overtly racist and prejudiced comments in my life. Mostly from semi literate swamp dwellers.
Anything you don't like is racist and prejudiced, isn't it?
They're scum, the lot of them.
That's called "life" get used to it.
MasterWhimp And what’s your opinion on all the people stabbing and shooting each other?
@Connor Cook fuck up you crybaby. You're livid over the fact kids living in tough situations are being fed for a few months. Get a life you lunatic
Do those who send their children to private school’s(charities for tax purposes) send them with VERY large pack-ups,or do they let them starve ? Why are there more food banks than ever,why are there food donation baskets in supermarkets ?
Congratulations marcus from a west ham fan
Respect for taking care of others⚽️
top one Marcus making the politicians actually do their Job...
It's not free if your neighbours are paying for it.
Boris Johnson it's getting weak how is a footballer doing his job this is is the most crucial year of everyone's life we are not living in a third war nation Boris Johnson (it's not a time to punish anyone) start being reasonable thank you rashford for using your platform a lot of kids will be eating because of you you should be proud of yourself honestly
It’s great but there is always a downside to it
Those children ars not british...but immigrants ...leaching the system
Fruitcake.
You did the right thing, Bozza.
A great lad,pure talent.. doing something good for the youth,thanks Marcus..just be careful of Labour,and left wing media distorting you're cause for political points.
Too many people in this country make poor Life choices and ends up the taxpayer wiping their backside for the rest of their lives.Be financial stable before you have kids. Get a education too many are stuck on that welfare trap all of their lives.
I am sorry but the uk should be grateful the pm ain’t Even that and compered to other countries
