Former Editor of the Big Issue North, Kevin Gopal, looks at how families in the North of England are in dire need of help - and why the child poverty strategy must right many years of wrongs
I fully agree with your ‘campaign’ on child poverty and the removal of the 2 child limit.
However you have published some ‘wild’ claims from Matthew Brown that have no basis in evidence or fact. This is not decent journalism, it’s just finding someone who agrees with your original premise and then using that to justify your narrative.
Perhaps a little more attention to detail and further questioning might gives us all better evidence.
Matthew Brown has a job outside of the Council which pays him to promote Community Wealth Building. A vested interest? You should have asked shouldn’t you?
