Yipchaa!
Fucking hell, I thought I checked and everythingI read on Twitter that it is a fake account. The real Marcus Rashford has a blue tick, and can spell his own name.
I even thought "huh, that doesn't look like a verified tick", but thought something weird was going on with the embedding

He probably thinks she should fuck off though.

You see, Real Rashford already disappointing his fans

Yipchaa!
I bloody checked! I think I clicked on the profile in her tweet though, which obviously is the real account, rather than the "fuck off" one, for reasons I will ponder on to my grave.Plus there is only one "r" in his name. I would have fallen for it except that when I saw the fake post, someone had already replied debunking it.

I am very wary of building this guy up, because everyone knows how that tends to go in Britain, but this is great
edit: I'm also an idiot, who manages to check if something is a spoof and still not actually realise that yes, it is a spoof.
This is a spoof account

Yipchaa!
You're a spoof account.

Well done Marcus.
I'm taking nothing away from his contribution here but from what i can gather Johnson was about to be torn apart in parliament (again) by Labour so it was a case of doing a shameful u turn or yet another pathetic showing in parliament.
Johnson is well out his depth.
Marcus deserves to be shown some big respect from football supporters when they are allowed in stadiums again.

hmmmmm
They did, but no one took any notice. I think that says a lot about what the general public think of them tbh.

He's always scrupulously polite on Twitter, like the nice young man he is, so the impolite response should have been a clue

He has had some good consistent coverage during the lockdown with his food project to be fair which has been going for a while longer , I think that's what has built the foundation. Obviously he will have had some assistance with pr specialists around the charity its been chugging away in sports media coverage for some time. Hes gone from 80-1 to joint leader with Tyson Fury for BBC sports personality of the year. I'll be voting for him and I hope he gets it.

Perhaps Labour need to get Rashford to do their social media and policy for them.
John Terry is now trending on Twitter and not in a good way for Labour.

I get what you mean as I've seen them but the top tweets around Terry are the fact that he turned down Man Utd for Chelsea

most Tories support free school meals over summer apparently.
I would imagine Boris and co are content to have been given a clearer idea as to where voters stand. He’s still got 4 years

tbf I'm sure Rashford would be the first to say that he didn't do this on his own. Labour were trying to put pressure on this issue. Rashford managed it. I don't have a problem with the 'we' here from Starmer. Important that there should be a 'we' somewhere, and not like he didn't namecheck Rashford.

We get one from school at the moment because the kitchen is shut and our middle child is eligible for universal fsm - they email it to us and you choose a supermarket (big ones), and have the voucher on your phone to use at the checkout. No fags, booze or lottery.

The Labour Party's tweet now being likened to John Terry's Champions League final rubbernecking. Peak 2020.

Rashfords campaign over the past few weeks whilst training as a proffesional footballer, rather than as a full time politician has been a contantly well supported Twitter account whose likes/retweets have risen massively around his tweets re the foodshare project. The project itself supplies 3m meals for vulnerable people. He asked for those on the school meals scheme to contact him to speak through their experiences and to make a video, he asked his Twitter followers to contact and lobby their MPS and after the initial decision was turned down was at it again.

Surely it would be an act of kindness to tie him into a sack and throw him in the canal
