4.5 million children live in poverty in the UK. This number is set to rise to 4.7 million by the end of the Parliament in 2029/30.
No child should live in poverty in the sixth richest country in the world. We’re calling on the Labour Government to take action to end child poverty by scrapping the two-child benefit cap.
This can be easily funded through wealth taxes on the super-rich, with billions left over to invest in our public services.
Agree? Use our lobbying tool to email your Labour MP urging them to keep up the pressure. If you do not have a Labour MP, you can email Keir Starmer instead.
