Sir Keir Starmer quoted a government report that 600,000 more children are living in “relative poverty” than there were in 2012.

Boris Johnson said he was “very proud” of his record on free school meals and would be delivering a summer food package for some children. He said both absolute and relative poverty “have both declined under this government”.
