TENS of thousands more children are in poverty since Labour refused to lift the two-child benefit cap since taking office, campaigners have warned.
Charities are increasing pressure on the government to ditch the benefits restriction as part of its upcoming child poverty plan, warning tha the effort to tackle poverty will “fall flat on its face” without doing so.
Though expected soon, the End Child Poverty Coalition believes it might not come until June.
