IT WAS recently revealed that 14.3 million people are in poverty in the UK, with seven million people in persistent poverty — meaning that they have been in poverty for two of the previous three years.
More than four million people are trapped in deep poverty, meaning their income is at least 50 per cent below the official breadline (currently around £195 a week for a lone parent with two children).
