Child poverty predicted to rise in most of UK except Scotland (www.believeinscotland.org)

Child poverty is on course to increase in the UK by the end of this parliament, with only Scotland bucking the trend, according to analysis by a respected poverty charity.

This is essentially because the Westminster government continues to discriminate against children born into larger families.

The two-child cap means that only the oldest two siblings get help if their parents fall into poverty - that is pushing many families into misery. In contrast, the Scottish government pays the Scottish Child Payment to every child in the family.
