What they’ve said
“…We now know that childhood poverty is a major cause of a declining healthy life expectancy, and there is a near 20-year gap between those in wealthy and deprived areas. Millions every year are sacrificed to the gods of fiscal rules, who set absolutely no target for poverty reduction.”

“…In 2025, England had a waiting list of 1.34 million households. In 2024-25 alone, England’s councils spent £2,842,091 on temporary and emergency accommodation, which could have been avoided if there was an adequate stock of social housing. This drain on the public purse has more than doubled in five years.”

“…Millions rely on charity to survive. Further, one in four young people in England has a mental health condition. Victorian illnesses such as rickets and scurvy have returned. Three million people in the UK are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition.”
