MPs sparked fury last month after they voted down a plan to extend free school meals through the school holidays.
But it didn’t deter the England striker, 23, from continuing his campaign as thousands of cafes and restaurants offered free dinners.
Following weeks of political pressure, Boris Johnson promised no child would go hungry this Christmas.
And it appears Rashford has made even further progress in his campaign.
Taking to Twitter, he wrote: “Just had a great conversation with the Prime Ministerm now is the time for collaboration.”
Rashford has earned himself an MBE for his dedication to the cause.
And his hard work did not go unnoticed by Everton who put a picture of Rashford on the big screen inside of Goodison Park ahead of their league fixture.

Everton shared the snap to their official Twitter page with the caption: “A message to @MarcusRashford from all Evertonians via @EFC_FansForum…”
It has been revealed that four in ten Brits back Rashford’s free school meals campaign.
