900,000 UK Children Pushed into Poverty Due to Low Wages Under Tories

Two recent reports have exposed the harsh reality of poverty in the UK, with 900,000 children being pushed into poverty due to low wages under the Conservative government. (TUC) has criticized the party for overseeing a significant increase in poverty, while the has revealed that average wages have only increased by £16 a week in real terms since 2010. The reports have highlighted the detrimental impact of low wages and rising prices on the lives of children in the UK. Both major political parties have proposed stringent welfare spending plans, but the connection between the surge in child poverty and sluggish wage growth under the five Conservative administrations since 2010 has been emphasized. This period has seen the slowest wage growth since the aftermath of the second world war.
