UK Govt plan to reduce child poverty is welcome but that requires reduction in parental poverty.
That can't be done without equitable distribution of income and wealth, stronger trade unions, progressive taxation, decent housing, education, healthcare, jobs and sound economy.
Who will do that?

To tackle child poverty the government must deal with parental poverty

Why is that UK govts only listen to the rich who resent paying tax and decent wages?
The rich can't feel secure whilst masses live in poverty. Poor people can't buy goods/services to boost the economy.

Think this is going to push a lot, if not most, of voters to the Greens. The right wing appeasement rather than practical improvements show Labour are not a party of serious government. Party before country.
