Tory MP @DSimmonds_RNP says that @MarcusRashford's experience of child poverty "took place entirely under a Labour government".
"Was he moved, as I was, by the @timesredbox article that @MarcusRashford wrote? Did he feel it quite striking that the anxieties and difficulties that he described growing up with his mum's worry about feeding the children took place entirely under a Labour govt?"
Reminder: @MarcusRashford was actually 11 years old when the Tories came to power in May 2010.
And he actually wrote in his article in June that he understood the importance of free school meals "because ten years ago I was one of them".

.@DSimmonds_RNP now adds that Labour's motion is all about "currying favour with wealth and power and celebrity status”
Felt like less than veiled jibe at @MarcusRashford.
