Manchester United and England star Marcus Rashford makes new child food poverty plea as he calls on public to sign his petition in a bid to force the Government to take action

Marcus Rashford will renew his fight against food poverty with a petition he believes will shame the Government into action.

The Manchester United forward was deeply disappointed last month by Education Secretary Gavin Williamson’s dismissive written reply to his plea for help and has made it clear he cannot be bought off by the MBE bestowed on him recently.

Now he will attempt to take the general public with him, asking them to pledge support to #endchildfoodpoverty and effectively force the hand of Mr Williamson — whose reply to the 22-year-old was merely a list of existing Conservative Party policies.
