Parents in poverty bemoan golden treatment of asylum seekers

Parents living in England's poverty capital have bemoaned the treatment of asylum seekers getting handouts while they struggle to survive on Universal Credit with the two-child benefit cap. In Newport, Middlesbrough, six out of seven children are currently classed as living in poverty, meaning their households have an income that is 60 percent less than the national average.Residents Lee Stevenson and Gemma Grafton, who welcomed their third child Ivie three months ago, said they struggle to afford to cover even the basics such as food and clothes each month.
