London has highest poverty rate in the country when including housing costs, with 27% of Londoners living in poverty.
Boroughs are at the forefront of tackling this but need funding to continue.
The Government must look again at the Fair Funding Review.

London boroughs drive growth, tackle poverty and provide vital services.
However, their ability to do that is under threat from the Fair Funding Review, which could cut council spending by £700m.

At Labour Conference, CLF co-hosted a panel with @fabiansociety.bsky.social on London’s inequality.
Despite being the UK’s economic engine, London has the highest poverty levels. We need fair funding, better jobs, and more devolution.

While London is the economic heart of the UK, it also has the highest levels of poverty. Ahead of the local elections next year, this event will explore how we can tackle the inequality that scars the capital, and build a better city for all.
