Wales is the worst effected Nation, but not the worst effected region. Parts of England are worse effected, but England as a whole is slightly less - due to it having more richer regions.
It is well established that Tory austerity cuts were aimed to cut harder in poorer constituencies - and we have more of them here in Wales.
Shouln't we be questioning why child poverty is rising in one of the richest nations on earth, instead of why there is 1 percent more child poverty in Wales compared to England, and blaming it on the welsh assembly?
