Campaigners warn Reform UK's welfare cuts would push many children into poverty

Campaigners warn that Reform UK's plan to cut £50 billion annually from the UK benefits bill would push hundreds of thousands of children into poverty and destitution. The party's proposals include drastically reducing disability payments, banning non-UK citizens from claiming benefits, and introducing compulsory unpaid work for the long-term unemployed. A charity described the potential impact as causing 'horrific levels of destitution'.
