New figures show Bradford has some of the highest levels of child poverty in the UK.
The findings, released by the End Child Poverty coalition for 2017/18, reveal 35.2 per cent of children (54,614) in Bradford are living in poverty, before housing costs.
Bradford West and Bradford East are highlighted as two of the 25 constituencies in Britain with the highest levels of child poverty. The figures, after housing costs, stand at 50.9 per cent (17,853 children) for Bradford West and 46.7 per cent (20,674) for Bradford East.
Imran Hussain, Labour MP for Bradford East, said children have needlessly suffered as a result of the Conservative party's "pet project of austerity".
