⭐️ Citata da Karsten Juhl Jørgensen poi da Pirous Fateh che ha ripreso Ingeborg Bachmann [“la misera stella”] e da Sir Michael Marmot e il suo invito finale: “To make hope possible”. ♥️

Pretty devastating

Out of 39 richest countries the UK has suffered the biggest rise in child poverty (by a long way) between 2014 & 2021

Ministers should be ashamed of their record

Sir Michael Marmot consistently drawing attention to an issue that is woefully under-reported

Austerity’s children – those born after 2010 – now account for 3.4m of Britain’s 4.3m children in poverty, with an extra 100k children pushed into poverty every year.

The damage to them runs deep and will have devastating consequences.
