We've launched new child poverty data with The Sun Child poverty is a real issue for The Labour Party - many Cabinet member's constituencies have half or more of all kids living in poverty. A first step to addressing this is to scrap the 2-child limit. thesun.co.uk/news/35202995/…

New stats published today by End Child Poverty show us that in 2/3 of MP constituencies, 1 in 4 children are living in poverty. Child poverty in the UK is at record levels. Email your MP and ask them to act: buff.ly/TrMsYsb

For some kids, summer won’t bring memories of beach days, zoo trips or ice cream in the sun. For some parents, there’s no chance to give them that joy. 💛 #Day2Play can change that. Donate 👉 justgiving.com/campaign/day2p…
