They look the same according to Gavin Williamson

Sounds about on a level with a band on tour saying the wrong name when they say "Hello " to me, the number of people he has to meet must be more than the One Show presenters!

Unlike a band on tour he has special advisors and civil servants who would inform him in advance who he was meeting and why with a quick briefing if necessary. One of them would then be present to make notes if he's unable to make some himself.

This shows how much he cares about poorer children if he can't remember which one is laptops and which one is food. He's not met the food one.

He's apologized but still doesn't stop him being as thick as mince...

But he wasn't meeting Rashford. He'd already done it in the past. He was talking in an interview about stuff and mentioned laptops and food and got the name of the person championing it mixed up. The meeting Rashford bit is a complete red herring

And then when he's doing an interview live after 20 such meetings in a day, he gets things mixed up. All the briefings in the world can't help that.

The newspapers and other outlets have Rashford stating he has not had any direct communication with Gavin Williamson.

Regardless Gavin Williamson is still as thick as mince but then I suppose you need a Grayling in every cabinet....

If he was competent on other things it wouldn't matter.

But if it were Diane Abbot, the Wailers would be all over it like a rash (conveniently ignoring when Patel did it on her 1 meeting day)

Funny thing is Patel and Mayor of London apparently have the same vocal affliction....

Certainly a man of the people ... can't distinguish between a football player and a huge, monster of a rugby bloke! For me, nothing to do with skin colour, but does show that MPs are so far away from normal life. I don't watch football and I know what Rashford looks like, he's all over the news every week.

Do you think Gavin Williamson understands the news?

What is this balls we have about "being a man of the people". Just reverse snobbery.
