The Government should be doing this not charities! As Atlee said "Charity is the failure of Government" No offence to the brilliant charity workers and volunteers doing their best.
Governments only want as much money as they can get from the people, and no matter how much money they get they will always spend more, at least with charities people who want to help can band together and provide that help and the help actually goes to the people that they’re wanting to help, this would never happen with the government as all the money just goes to the treasury. To be spent on this weeks political whim.
No matter what Labour do, the Tories always trash it in order to reduce taxes for wealthy earners. They believe that it is their jobs to stand on the backs of the poor to maintain their social position. Every election from now until we die of old age must be spent tactically voting to ensure the Tories never get another chance to destroy the lives of working people, they must never govern again.
Agreed! Everything has been thoroughly knackered these past 14 years! Still even before then we had charities supporting British citizens, but it was nowhere near the level it is now...

I know Gordon Brown is doing and working so hard with all the powers he can to help child poverty. It’s so wrong that we as nation have to look at charities to come to the aid of poverty, it’s wrong that we as a nation have to look at church’s, temple’s and synagogue’s to come to the aid of the of poverty, and it’s wrong for we as nation have to look at foundations to come to the aid of poverty. We the United Kingdom have a redistribution of wealth where welfare doesn’t help anymore, where middle class is shrinking and losing their wealth, where the government has no assets, no money and indebted. So who has all that money, holding on to the debt of others, of governments and of society, the answer the super wealthy. Some say we can’t have a redistribution but we’ve already got a redistribution of wealth from the poor, from the middle and from the government to the wealthy and super wealthy. The Uk has a cancer and that cancer is inequity. The answer is not to grow but to tax the super wealthy, passive income and tax their assets, because they hold all the cards, and society is left with the Jokers in the pack. It’s time for the UK to tax, tax and tax the super wealthy to reclaim our Ace’s back.

Good to see charities stepping up and to see Gordon Brown's support. I hope the government doesn't delay stepping up too long. I wonder whether Gordon Brown has any influence left to hurry them up.

When people who are in work and can barely afford to eat stop giving to charity , Will any of the main party politicians make the American corporations that are taking over our country pay the taxes that would have been paid by British companies?
It is good that Gordon is speaking out…… BUT house prices increased 300% from 1997 to 2007 (when real inflation was only 17%) …..tripled! Surely the housing costs we have now are the biggest contributor to poverty, unaffordable rents, unaffordable mortgages in real terms because housing costs are so high etc etc……did the root of todays poverty problems accelerate in that 10 years of housing madness I wonder?
It's a disgrace that a rich western country has to rely on charity to look after the basic needs of some of it's citizens. Why isn't Gordon Brown holding Kid Starver to account for his cruel tory policy loving new goverment.
You mean the British people. Tories didn't just walk in you know, they were elected. By the will of the people as they were so fond of reminding everyone. 😂
Whilst I appreciate what Gordon Brown is trying to do, the real problem is the low pay, pensions, and benefits that go with the high rents, transport costs, care costs, fuel and water costs. The Government has just put an obstacle in the way of alleviating these problems and disciplined those who tried to do something about it. That is shameful.
Gordon Brown butcher of Iraq, very bankster friendly, larger gap between rich and poor under him and Blair then Thatcher and Major, and an enemy to the Corbyn project. yes great guy to talk about ending child poverty or any poverty. do better Politics Joe!
My solution: keep the 2 child cap. For childrens 3, 4 etc the benefit money is supplied as an interest free loan. This could be similar to student loans where by the money is paid back when the patents earn over a certain threshold later in life.
Agreed Gordon and I appreciate the effort... But please tell Starmer to lift the cap and tax wealth which would help negate the need for multibanks in the first place - prevention's better than cure and all that!!
Yes and higher wages. But I think more house building should be the top priority. Without excess supply, landlords could just increase rents to eat up any extra money for themselves.
Gordon Brown is a good man trying his best to help out. Hopefully once Reeves has finished doing her budget, they will begin the work towards making sure that charity isn't necessary.
I will repeat this from what i posted elsewhere: Labour are still going to eliminate this universal credit cap - once they can show it can be balanced in their budget. Them not taking this approach will lead to them going back into opposition for the next 10+ years...
Really? So why was absolute child poverty higher at the end of Gordon Brown's government in 2010 than it is today? 3.6 million children - about one in four in the UK - live in households in absolute poverty. The figure for 2022-23 was nearly 320,000 more children than in the year before - the largest increase in over 40 years. Absolute poverty is a measure of households who can afford less than 60% of what the average income would have bought in 2010-11, adjusted for rising prices. This has historically fallen over time and the current level of absolute poverty is slightly lower than when the Conservatives came to power in 2010, when it was 3.7 million children. So the numbers in absolute child poverty at the end of the last Labour government, the one that Gordon Brown led, was higher than it was at the end of the last tory government, albeit almost identical. Both parties are lying.
@@captainwin6333You need to take into account the 2008 financial crisis - which was worldwide. We also still had functional healthcare (some of the best in the world) and infrastructure...until the tories gutted them out...
To be fair some of his policies were useful in supporting the poorest in our communities, working, non-working, disabled and deprived of other means. However he never challenged the corporations, businesses, and landlords who exploited this support, by not increasing wages, extracting private rents etc.
Seriously gordy??? Multibanks??? Charities have been supplying all of those 'multibank' items for decades. And who are the companies? Would they be donating free beds,flooring etc or will councils be contracting those 'companies' ,paying them to supply items from multibanks? Smells like more bs

When did it become the governments responsibility to bring up children? And when did it stop being the parents responsibility to bring up children? If children are growing up in poverty it is the parents responsibility to get a job and earn some money so that they can pay for things, giving these people more money doesn’t guarantee the money will go to the children, In fact, you can pretty much guarantee that the money won’t go to the children.
I believe you was misunderstood Gordon , you must look at the labour party and ask yourself what happened , good government is about providing the best country you can for the country ,and communities around Britain , I have nothing ,but I've always tried to help individuals 🙌
I have noticed that Gordon's mouth keeps doing the droop. I do not mean to be rude to him, but what is the medical reason for his mouth always doing that? I have never seen that happen in anyone else. By the way, I like Gordon Brown.
He talks a lot of crap. People don't need handouts, they need jobs. If they all weren't so greedy, then it wouldn't have gotten to this point. This is their way of locking in votes. He's highlighting what I call dependency love.😅😅😂😂
not true scot. snp have tried to do as much as they could with one hand tied to westmonster, , free edu extra money for kids always been free school meals and breakfast clubs. before foodbanks started popping up like mcdonalds in the 80s. to many rich getting richer and paying zerotax, there lies the problem, but theirgrrreat because the donate so much to charities.
You will never fix child poverty in the UK, there are just too many privileged powerful rich people who don't give a toss. The UK is basically an emerging economy and has been emerging for decades.
