Helen calls for action on child poverty

I am really glad to see a focus in the King’s Speech on children and young people. This Labour government will deliver thousands of new teachers in our schools, action to improve the mental health and wellbeing or children and young people, free breakfast clubs in every primary school and support for young people who are at risk of serious violence.

Child poverty has risen shamefully under 14 years of Conservative government, and it must be an urgent priority of the new government to eradicate it. You can see my speech from today here >>
