The UK Labour leader said his party would 'put a strategy in place' for ending child poverty.

Keir Starmer has said that eradicating child poverty is "central" but again refused to scrap the two-child benefit cap.

"It will be central to an incoming Labour Government if we're privileged to come in to serve and we will put a strategy in place for it. "Because where we've had to say now: there are things that we might want to do but we can't because the economy has been damaged. "But if we can't deliver, I'm not going to say it.
