It is hard to be categorically sure of BBC football commentator Guy Mowbray's views on Government social policy because it's not exactly in his job description to declare on the issue. If you were betting on it, though, you'd put him in the Marcus Rashford camp when it comes to the welfare of Britain's poorest children.
Mowbray's description of his view from the TV gantry at Newcastle United's St James' Park in June – a few months before the BBC's new director general Tim Davie stamped on journalists issuing opinions which might be deemed political – implied a scepticism about the some aspects of the Conservative government.
