Show Notes
Londons child poverty rates soar, with over a third of kids living in relative poverty, surpassing other English regions. The government unveils a new strategy to lift 550,000 children out of poverty by 2029, scrapping the two-child benefit limit. Experts attribute the issue to Londons housing crisis, with sky-high rents causing severe material deprivation. Child poverty across the UK stands at 27%, highest in Wales at 32% and lowest in Northern Ireland at 19%. Campaigners welcome benefit changes but warn that millions still grapple with basic necessities.
