TOP economists revealed yesterday that two-thirds of Britain’s poverty-stricken children now live in working families — despite David Cameron’s pledge to give working people “a life.”

A joint report by the Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS) and the Joseph Rowtree Foundation (JRF) also revealed “material deprivation” is now much higher for the most vulnerable in society, including single parents and disabled people.

At yesterday’s PMQs Mr Cameron argued that the Conservatives “want to get people into work, we want to give people a chance, we want to give people a life, that’s what this Budget was all about.”
