The UK hasn’t seen poverty like this for 60 years.” — Gordon Brown, August 2025. Not quite: unemployment was worse in the 80s. But food banks, child destitution & working poverty? On those, he is sadly right #UKpoverty #CostOfLivingCrisis #FoodBanks #ChildPoverty #GordonBrown

Labour’s Child Poverty Failure: Two-Child Cap Still Hurting Labour promised change—but a year in, 4.45 million children face poverty. Why won’t they scrap the cruel two-child benefit cap?

Rats in kitchens. Mould on walls. Empty plates.
This is real life for millions of children under Labour. Still think “things can only get better”?

The 2023 sub-regional fuel poverty model is based on national data drawn from the EHS combined 2022 and 2023 dataset. Application of the model requires specific local area data for a variety of demographic and socio-economic factors, which are derived from the 2023 Experian data and 2011 Census small area datasets. 2011 Census data continued to be used rather than updating to 2021 due to changes to question categories and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic activity in 2021. It is not possible to produce sample based estimates at the local level because of the relatively small sample size in the EHS survey, which does not give sufficient coverage for each of the 296 Local Authorities or the individual Census Output Areas (COAs) within them. To produce estimates at this level, EHS data is used to create a model which can then be applied to a national (household level) dataset. The limitation this brings is the possibility that small areas which are atypical in characteristics are unlikely to be identified by the model. It is therefore essential to compare, where possible, the modelled sub-regional level results to the national and regional statistics.

Answer to UK House of Commons written question UIN 33453: 11 March 2025 There are no official published statistics on poverty-related deaths. Statistics on deaths from specific causes are based on the medical causes of death recorded on a death certificate, which are coded using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). Although poverty is included within the ICD it is rarely coded as a cause of death. Estimates of the number of deaths due to some factors that influence mortality but are not always stated as a cause of death, such as smoking, can be made. However, there is no agreed definition of a poverty-related death for use within Government, and no official statistics on potential numbers.
