2023-24 poverty stats out today. The data is noisy, but since 2020 we've had three years in a row of:
• rising absolute poverty
• rising food insecurity, now up to 7.5 million people
• rising child relative poverty, now up to almost 4.5 million children, adding pressure to the Child Poverty Strategy
