Marcus Rashford highlights Labour councils feeding kids over holidays
Without government support, these councils are stepping up.
As part of his campaign to make sure all children are fed, Marcus Rashford has praised the work of several local councils on food poverty.
Rashford did not mention which party runs these councils, as he has been keen not to politicise the issue, but all so far are run by the Labour Party.
The government voted against providing disadvantaged children with food over the holidays but these councils have pledged to fund them themselves – despite years of cuts to their funding from central government.
