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

@ChrisMayLA6 Having worked in a rural area, whilst I'm sure most child poverty is in urban areas, simply because most people live in urban areas. Rural poverty is often worse, as there is no support network, and the state requires attending remote centres to even submit a claim. 4 bus rides over 8 hours with three children to get to DWP office, then a return trip the next day as the last bus leaves at midday.....so the poverty is simply unrecorded and unrecognised.
yes, that would seem likely
