Published 5 days, 21 hours ago
Description

New government data reveals a surge in UK poverty, with 13.4 million people living below the poverty line in 2024-25, up from 12.93 million the previous year. Child poverty saw a slight decrease, but officials expect a significant drop with the recent policy shift ending the two-child benefit cap. However, charities warn that four million children still struggle, and progress will be closely monitored in future reports.
