We're appalled by more reports that Israeli airstrikes have killed children in Gaza this week, including strikes on hospitals and displacement camps. Every day, more children are killed as Israel intensifies its lethal assault on Gaza. The UK Government has enabled these

MPs across political parties agree the UK Government must do more to end the mass human suffering in Gaza. Words of condemnation aren’t enough. Children in Gaza need action. The UK must not be an ally to Israel’s atrocities.

This #NationalChildrensDay, 4.5 million children in the UK are growing up in poverty because of decisions made by politicians. A country that fails to invest enough money in its children and leaves the poorest behind is not a success, nor one to be proud of. Keir Starmer,

Last year the government's manifesto promised to return aid spending to 0.7% as soon as the fiscal situation allowed. Now it's reducing the aid budget to levels never seen before. Nutrition support to the world's poorest countries is to be slashed by nearly 90%, while the

Threatening concrete action marks a shift in the UK Government's words, but the time for ultimatums has long gone. They must act now to end the catastrophic death and destruction in Gaza and the West Bank. Palestinian children cannot wait any longer. The UK must end its

The cost of living crisis is still very real and impacting families right across the UK. Increased prices on household bills are pushing family budgets to their limits, and making it harder for parents to give children the childhoods they deserve. The Comprehensive Spending

We welcome reports of a £750 million down payment to tackle child poverty. This is a promising first step, and if invested in child benefit, housing and education, it could start to ease the pressure on families. But it doesn’t match the scale of the challenge or the 'radical

.Gordon Brown is absolutely right, the two-child limit doesn't just impact families that aren't working. That's a total myth. 70% of children in poverty are in families where someone is working but not earning enough, and the rest usually include a parent with a disability or

Cutting the overseas aid budget isn't just cruel, it's short-sighted. It's not just about helping others; it’s an investment that benefits us too. We all know the world faces huge global challenges. Climate change, escalating conflict, trade wars, skyrocketing food and fuel

We agree - scrapping the two-child limit must be the number one priority for tackling child poverty. The Prime Minister and Chancellor must act now and scrap it urgently.

We are disappointed at the delay to the child poverty strategy which the UK Government promised to publish in spring. Pushing this important work back will mean 20,000 more children will be dragged into poverty. Keir Starmer must take action to make sure the strategy scraps the
