Across England just over a quarter of all children live in poverty, rising to over a third of children in London; no wonder many voters do not believe claims by our political class that the UK economy is not dysfunctional & just needs some tweaks to improve.
This level of child poverty doesn't happen by accident nor does it happen quickly; its an indictment of the callousness & inhumanity of our political class' management of the UK's political economy.
