Steve McGovern told the government what they thought of their vote against free school meals in the wake of a barbarism.
Tory ministers sparked outrage by voting against footballer Marcus Rashford, the protagonist, who appealed for free school meals for poor families over the holidays.
And in the presidency of a recent episode of Have I Got News for You, Steve hit the government most brutally.
The panel included general team captains Ian Hislop and Paul Marton, as well as guests Miles Joop and Conservative peer, Barnes Said da Warsi.
Steve Barnes introduced Warsi as “a Conservative peer who told the Daily Mail that part of his weight loss was under control.”
He then added with disgusting curiosity: “The government has now set a policy for the poorest children in England.”

Barnes Warsi wasn’t out of some jokes about his team’s spending, he scoffed at his communication strategy.
He laughed that the principle was “keep their heads down, pretend they’re not the government, don’t talk to them about pretending, and it’ll just go away – something like Marcus Rashford.”
The comment drew an “Ooooohhh” of praise and step from the audience.

“It’s the government’s fault,” Barnes Warsi added at a more serious moment, “and the best thing they can do is stand up and say, ‘We’ve been wrong.’
“They need some real empathy training, a few of my colleagues.”
Steve and Barnes Warsi flooded in with positive comments on Twitter, urging Steve to host frequently.
