Really frustrating that children are 3x likely to be in poverty as pensioners, yet a disproportionate amount of money is redirected towards pensioners, the richest demographic by a long shot.
And as has been made clear, any attempts to address that will not be tolerated by media or by the electorate. Labour couldn’t even get the original WFA cuts through, despite the poorest still being entitled to them!
Labour restarting SureStart in all but name will surely be a big help for young children and new parents, as will things like the sizable minimum wage increases. But it won’t be enough to fix this problem.

I cannot imagine where all the money has gone. Perhaps if we lower taxes on the very rich a smidge they'll give some back out of the goodness of their hearts?

It’s still just slowly trickling down. Any day now.
