Joseph Rowntree 2025 Poverty Report confirms its been 20 years since any major improvement in poverty across the UK.

This is hardly surprising given for 15 years we had a Tory Govt. which whatever they may have declared had no real interest in reducing poverty.

Child poverty is often urban & concentrated in the Midlands & North of England while overall around one in five UK residents are in poverty!

Reversing this looks unlikely under the current Govt. too
