British Prime Minster Boris Johnson has praises Manchester United footballer Marcus Rashford for ‘holding the government accountable’ after disgraceful images of hugely under-packed food parcels emerged online.
Rashford has been on the war path trying to fight the problem of child hunger in the UK and so far the England international has done a very good job.

The 23-year-old took to Twitter to inform people that he had in fact spoken directly to Boris Johnson and the Prime Minster said he was ‘committed to correcting the issue.’
Just had a good conversation with the Prime Minister. He has assured me that he is committed to correcting the issue with the food hampers and that a full review of the supply chain is taking place. He agrees that images of hampers being shared on Twitter are unacceptable.

Rashford also successfully campaigned for families eligible for free school meals to receive food parcels or vouchers while schools are shut under national lockdown in England.
