- Reposted by Mr Joe Jenkins🚨 NEW: Labour is lifting 100,000 children out of poverty by expanding access to free school meals. Alongside free breakfast clubs, cheaper uniform costs and government-funded childcare, Labour is putting money in parents’ pockets and giving children the best start in life.

- Removing the 2-child cap on universal credit won’t solve child poverty; but it’s the quickest biggest step to address the shameful rise in children living in poverty There’s growing support for action across the political spectrum & public support too for investing in our children

- A child poverty strategy with no serious funding not worth the paper it written on; so better it’s released with investment BUT: every day it’s delayed is another day in which more children fall into poverty & are damaged by the impact Our children can’t afford to wait
