Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has won his battle to force the Government to provide free school meals during the summer.

In a humiliating U-turn, Downing Street announced a £120 million fund which will benefit some 1.3 million children in England over the six-week summer period.

Boris Johnson  dramatically caved in today to demands from campaigners and the 22-year-old footballer. As Labour hailed "another U-turn", the jubilant sports star tweeted: "I don’t even know what to say.

Just look at what we can do when we come together, THIS is England in 2020." The  Manchester United  star captured hearts with  a moving letter describing his own upbringing by a single mum  - and urging to PM not to let kids go hungry.

Mapping the trucker convoy in Ottawa: ‘no one’s leaving here’
so-called “freedom convoy” that has snarled downtown Ottawa streets is widening its grip on the city, sprawling out in new, smaller encampments scattered around town.And while the police say they’ve negotiated movement of some trucks around the city, there are protesters in various encampments who continue to dig in their heels.“If trucks leave here, they’re going out on a convoy. They’re going to join the rest of the trucks,” said John Bancroft, a coordinator for the encampment site set up on Coventry Road — a short drive from downtown Ottawa.“No one’s leaving here until the mandates are lifted.” Trudeau calls on all parties to denounce ‘illegal’ trucker occupations, blockades But in the days since, that setup has shifted — and Global News has created a map of what the convoy protest’s encampments look like now.The original location of the convoy, Wellington Street, remains lined with trucks and regular vehicles.
