Politicians are choosing not to reduce child poverty and lying about it, a top public health expert has claimed.
University College London's Professor Sir Michael Marmot said he was "so tired" of hearing Tory politicians moan about taxes being too high when the UK's tax burden is low by international standards.
Sir Michael said the UK is "on track to make child poverty worse" - and said the Government could spend more on children in their early year but refused to do so, blaming high taxes.
