Labour has run out of ideas on child poverty

Figures released by the New Policy Institute show an increase in the number of children living in severe poverty since 2005.

It is clear that Labour has failed to tackle child poverty with its over-complex tax and benefit tricks.

We Lib Dems will invest more in education to give every child a fair start and break the link between poverty and low grades.

As for the Tories', they have huge gaping holes in their policies on poverty.
A hodge-podge of tax cuts for millionaires and tax bribes for marriage would do nothing to tackle severe poverty when most of these families are not even in work, let alone in a position to inherit more than £1m from their relatives.
