4.3 million children are in poverty UK govt won’t see progress on child poverty by 2029 even with high economic growth 📢 Our analysis shows under our central scenario only Scotland will see child poverty rates fall by 2029 in part due to social security policies 1/5

📣 New research, by @louisemurphy.bsky.social‬ and Gregory Thwaites, published this morning 📣 The spring’s benefit and employment support reforms will most likely increase the labour supply... but that increase is much smaller than the number of people affected by the cuts ⤵️ buff.ly/YzOXy6T

📢 New analysis of cuts 📢 We estimate unpaid carers are at risk of losing between £1.2bn – £1.7bn in income as a direct result of changes to PIP eligibility announced this week. The green paper fails to fully engage with the scale of its devastation with much of this on top of £5bn announced 🧵

"Government cuts put unpaid carers at risk of losing income of £1.2-£1.7bn, with nearly half of the loss on top of figures announced so far"
