And this week, Angela Rayner was overheard calling Tory MP Chris Clarkson, who was accusing Labour of exploiting this pandemic for their own ends, “scum”. Which is why the scum in my bath and kettle definitely deserve an apology for being likened to Clarkson. Brendan Clarke-Smith declared “I do not believe in nationalising children” and called for everyone to “get back to the idea of taking responsibility”. At which point I expected them to tap-dance along the green benches singing Food, Glorious Food from the musical Oliver! In a few weeks, many of those 318 Tory MPs who scuppered Rashford’s proposal will be doing photo-ops in their constituencies on Children in Need night.
