Show Notes
New government figures reveal a rise in relative poverty in the UK, with 13.4 million people living below the median average. Pensioners and children are disproportionately affected, with pensioner poverty rising to 1.69 million and child poverty holding steady. The government plans to scrap the two-child benefit cap to lift half a million kids out of poverty by 2030, aiming to cut child poverty before the 2029 election. However, material deprivation remains a concern, affecting 24% of children and 3.51 million in total.
