[Child Poverty Action Group @CPAGUK]

Child poverty has reached a record high, with
4.3 million kids now facing cold homes & empty tummies.

Change is possible but we need a commitment from all parties to scrap the two child limit and increase child benefits.

Anything less would be a betrayal of Britain’s children.
