Among other things this is highly misleading from the Home Sec. Yes, Labour's anti-immigration policies will cause more child poverty. That's not even a debate, it's guaranteed.

"Are you worried that there will be an impact on child poverty?"
Home Secretary "This is a system of economic migration ... they chose to bring their families with them" is the underlying principle.

‘The children are not safe here’: the Nigerian couple fighting infanticide
The long read: In a few isolated communities in central Nigeria, some babies are believed to be bad omens. Olusola and Chinwe Stevens run a thriving home for babies at risk. But what happens when the families want them back?
