I can't decide whether I'm more angry or ashamed of this...

Children’s lives in the UK are changing. They are becoming shorter in height. More of them are going hungry than they were a few years ago. Recently, more have died each year than they did a few years ago. Increased poverty, more destitution & the effects of ongoing austerity are the clear culprits.

Very, very angry

Both.

You can be both. I know I am.

Horrifying. #Labour must not ignore this.

And yet we “cannot afford” to scrap the 2 child benefit cap This iteration of Labour stinks.

14 years of austerity, no surprise. Just sad that the Labour government seem to be continuing with it.

If you didn't vote Tory, & if you voted Remain, you have nothing to be ashamed of. Only those who voted for this shit-show bear any responsibility for it.

It is things like this that made me campaign to get the Labour Party elected in 2017 and 2019, as it had some policies that may have significantly reduce child poverty in this country. The Starmer regime, however, is simply Continuity Conservatism.

Incandescent, perhaps!

It's OK to be both! 🥺
