Huge number of children would fall into poverty under Reform’s benefits plans, say campaigners

Reform UK has unveiled proposals aimed at slashing £50 billion annually from the UK welfare bill. According to campaigners and charitable organizations, the planned cuts would severely impact vulnerable households across the country.

Specifically, critics warn that the measures would tip hundreds of thousands of children into poverty. Charities have condemned the proposals, stating that the reduction in benefits would result in horrific levels of destitution for families reliant on state support.
