Around two million children will be hit by a cruel government ruling rejecting a benefit deduction shake-up as energy prices rocket.
A cross-party group of MPs had called for debt repayments to be paused after experts said they were driving families to foodbanks - but this was thrown out by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) on the day the Queen died.
Officials ruled the move was "not in the claimant's best interest", in spite of dire warnings from charities, which warn the effect on those affected will be devastating.
