Marcus Rashford hailed the efforts of local councils in funding food provision over half-term.
I’m hearing that the £63M funding provided to locals councils was meant to be spent by Oct 2nd…
If that is true (I don’t know that it is) then the effort local councils have put in to finding funding for food provision over Half Term is just incredible 👏🏾👏🏾

Llando Norris said sorry.
I owe an apology. I’ve been stupid and careless with some things I’ve said lately in media and interviews, and haven’t shown the respect I should have to certain people. I’m not that kind of person, so know I should apologise to them but also everyone reading/listening. Sorry
