Pretty safe prediction here:

If or when Rashford goes down that route the Conservatives will be on safer ground because they will blame the parents and a large swathe will lap it up. |  |

But something like 70% of these kids have a parent working.
Clearly we’re talking about a systemic failure. We’ve got low, stagnant wages at the lower end colliding with higher cost of living/accommodation. Meanwhile the wealthy and many of the property owners are getting much, much richer.
You’re right that the right-wing politicians, media and their supporters will try to blame a section of the population (as they always do) but it’s up to decent people to keep rejecting that playbook rather than buying into it. | |

Surely it's because of the worldwide financial crisis caused entirely by the UK labour government almost 15 years ago? |  | | |

Farage to his credit seems to be as critical of the government’s stance as anyone. But that’s the big problem - it’s not enough to be critical of the government and wring your hands over this situation. We need people and politicians to honestly and searchingly address the underlying issues. | |
