The UK Government has been accused of turning a deaf ear to "stark warnings" over a looming poverty crisis and calls to scrap the benefits cap.
Anti-poverty campaigners this week launched a 'Scrap the Cap' initiative, calling on Downing Street to end the ceiling on state benefits in the face of the rising cost of living.
The campaign comes after a survey of people on low incomes and charity organisations found that the policy is causing widespread harm and hardship.
