We have published new research w @CRSP_LboroUni showing that 47% of kids in @Keir_Starmer's constituency are growing up in poverty. Across the UK 4.5m kids are in poverty – they need action from @uklabour. Govt must scrap the 2child limit to benefit payments to ⬇️ child poverty

RT @ButtleUK: Absolutely shocking news to hear that Labour are considering U-turning on their discussions to end the cruel two child limit.

Thank you so much for listening, and really hearing, our youth ambassador's stories. Hopefully providing a small snap shot of what life may be like for the 4.5 million children in the UK who are living in poverty.
On day 2 of my visit to the #UnitedKingdom I spent the day listening to the voices of young people, families and those supporting them on the #HumanRights of children in precarious situations @newhamcommunity @magpieprojectuk @xlplondon @EndChildPoverty @4in10

A young person representing @CPAGUK ended the @NoChildBehindUK #FreeSchoolMealsForAll conference with a powerful message,. ‘Whilst expansion of the scheme is good, without universal provision there is still a dividing line in every classroom’.

Why should we provide universal free school meals? One benefit is a boost to the economy explains Prof Bundy from @SchoolMeals_ . This includes £ returns and job creation. @NoChildBehindUK #FreeSchoolMealsForAll

Thank you @NoChildBehindUK for having us today at your #freeschoolmeals conference. Celebrating campaigning success that free school meal entitlement has been expanded to kids from families who receive universal credit. Continuing to push for free school meals for all.

And the children who live in these families. At a time when the government has planned to reduce levels of child poverty across the UK. We could see figures for child poverty rise as a result.
Sadly, if the cuts go ahead they’ll devastate the lives of hundreds of thousands of disabled people and carers.

And this includes families with children 👇. On one hand the government are developing a strategy to lift children out of poverty, whilst pushing through a Bill which will push more families with children in poverty.
Government just published the Universal Credit & PIP Bill. It’s shocking. Mitigations will protect only a small minority of disabled people & carers. 100s of 1000s will be pushed into severe hardship. @TrussellUK

This is such amazing news, and will make a huge difference for families living in poverty in Scotland: @Keir_Starmer we now need this for families across the UK.
