On Thursday Rashford and Kerridge revealed their plans for a series of cookery-demonstration videos on Instagram and recipe cards in supermarkets that aims to reach more than 4.2 million children living in poverty and give them the confidence to cook.
“I wish someone had given me a kick to get involved [in cooking] even just a couple of years ago. Cooking is definitely a skill I needed in my adult life, I just hadn’t prioritised it,” says @MarcusRashford.
Kerridge, whose restaurants hold three Michelin stars, can still connect in a way many highfalutin chefs can’t. He’s never held back on discussing being raised by a single mum and his struggles with school, alcohol and his weight.

Sex Pistol Johnny Rotten talks about quitting hellraising to become a full-time carer for his wife. thetimes.co.uk/article/sex-pi…
In the 1970s he was the frontman of the Sex Pistols and the angry face of punk rock. His hard-edged songs, including Anarchy in the UK, full of rage and nihilism, chimed with unemployment and industrial unrest in run-down Britain and attracted an army of safety-pin-pierced fans.
Today Johnny Rotten is John Lydon, now 65, holding together a pair of broken spectacles.
His daily routine is as far from anarchy as he can manage. His wife, Nora Forster, suffers from Alzheimer’s disease and needs orderliness and calm, he says.
Dominic Cummings is preparing a dossier of evidence that will attempt to blame Boris Johnson personally for tens of thousands of deaths during the second wave of the pandemic thetimes.co.uk/article/domini…
The former advisor is now seeking an urgent parliamentary inquiry into the response to the pandemic
Meanwhile, No 10 aides fear that Cummings has nothing to lose and has enough “kompromat” on Johnson to damage him
Downing Street is prepared for the onslaught, and will mount a defence, saying that the second wave accelerated when the new variant was discovered in December — months after the row over lockdown
Doctors and scientists are racing to solve the medical mystery of long Covid, and with good reason
If the first act of the pandemic was the tragic death toll, the second act is rapidly becoming one of the most pervasive health crises of the modern age thetimes.co.uk/article/the-ra…
Little is known about why so many people, after coming through the acute phase of Covid, struggle to recover. Why do they suffer pain, fatigue, brain fog or neurological disorders? Why do some symptoms go on and on? Why do some disappear and then return with a bang?
The severity varies but the numbers are still alarming. In the ONS survey, 674,000 people said they “experienced at least some limitation” in their day-to-day activities, while nearly 200,000 said their day-to-day activities had been limited a lot

Exclusive: “I don’t want to be Boris Johnson,” says Keir Starmer.
Has the Labour leader got what it takes to be prime minister? He tells @DeccaJourno about his challenging first year and why he’s trailing behind in the polls. thetimes.co.uk/article/965487…
Keir Starmer has had a very peculiar year. Having inherited a party still reeling from its worst defeat since 1935, he was at first widely praised for restoring stability.
His forensic dismantling of Boris Johnson’s bluster at prime minister’s questions also restored an impression of a viable opposition.
