Writer Jack Monroe leaves the High Court in central London in 2017
ACTIVIST and food writer Jack Monroe issued a stark warning today that the cost of living crisis will be “fatal” for children in poverty.
The campaigner, who specialises in low-cost cooking, warned MPs that the impact of the crisis on “millions of children living in poverty in Britain today” is “going to be, in some cases, fatal,” a term that she didn’t “use lightly.”
She told the work and pensions committee that the home situation of children living in poverty was “already untenable” and had been worsening over the last decade.
