LETTER in the Times, in response to @jennirsl column on early intervention

Would be dangerously irresponsible to have an NHS with only A&E depts but no primary care or public health – yet this kind of short-sightedness is what we’re facing in children’s services.

Child Poverty statistics published for 2019-20

As always, look at the trend too
1. PAST - child poverty has risen sharply since 2012
2. FUTURE - @resfoundation projected before Budget that child poverty would rise after the pandemic

gov.uk/government/sta…
1. Child Poverty has risen to 4.3m (31% of all children)

Since 2012, that's a 19% rise in the number of children and a 14% rise in the percentage of children in poverty.
2. On absolute poverty, progress continues to be historically slow.

Remember, this measure looks at how many people are below the poverty threshold from 2010-11 *a decade ago*

As a society gets richer, this should fall rapidly. The latest year again sees only a small fall

Really disappointed to hear a @BBCr4today programme interviewer talk about 'illegal asylum seekers'. No such thing.

On such a big issue, how is it possible to get basic terms wrong?
@omrgriffiths
#r4today was getting this wrong 20 years ago when I used to work for a refugee charity - and when we had Straw and Blunkett thinking the answer to the asylum system was tough-talking not smart-acting
Years ago. The now defunct Press Complaints Commission issued editorial guidelines on the correct terms to use on asylum & immigration- overseen by @StigAbell

THREAD: Is the Govt changing its cherrypicking strategy on child poverty claims?

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE

1. What PM wrongly claimed on child poverty in 2019, earning @StatsRegulation rebuke

2. What PM claimed on child poverty at PMQs on 18 Nov 20
In the first statement, the PM used 2010 as a baseline. At the time, relative poverty was rising and absolute poverty was historically weak - we could not see where the 400,000 claim had come from.

An earlier thread on the PM's past claims
In the PMQs claim he talks about the last 10 yrs.

If he means since 2010, he'd be repeating his incorrect claim.

Does he mean the last 10 years for which we have statistics?

That would be starting at 2009/10 - under LAB & well before benefit cuts started to bite from 2012
