Welfare reforms 'push 150,000 into poverty'

AROUND 150,000 people will be pushed into poverty by 2030 as a result of the Government's welfare cuts.

The figure is down from the 250,000 extra people estimated to have been left in relative poverty after housing costs before Sir Keir Starmer's partial U-turn.

Modelling by the Department for Work and Pensions said the estimate does not include any impact from extra funding and measures to support people into work.
