Britain basks in Rashford’s victory – but Mail readers are livid

The Manchester United star scored an incredible victory today after the government extended its free school meal scheme - but not everyone saw it that way.

Mail Online readers have reacted with dismay after Marcus Rashford forced a government climbdown over free school meals.

While the nation basked in the Manchester United star’s incredible victory, readers of the right-wing rag couldn’t hide their resentment.

The fund will extend the current £15-a-week supermarket vouchers, handed to parents of poor children who can’t attend school due to the virus, for six weeks over the summer break.

But Mail readers expressed their concern that it might not be used for its intended purpose.

“I doubt that’ll be spent on food,” one said, “more like cigarettes and blue wkds”.

“Tell them to cancel their sky subscription!”, said another.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
