HUNGER and hardship in Britain have reached record levels, with three million children affected, a shocking new report has revealed today.
Research by the anti-poverty Trussell charity has found that 9.3 million people are struggling financially — one seventh of the population.
Unless the government takes action, the numbers in difficulty will increase by a further 425,000 by 2026-27, the report highlighted.
