UK Government has been accused of having a "profound misunderstanding" of the causes of poverty and food insecurity. The Scottish Government levelled the charge against Westminster as it published a new report showing it had a "distinctive approach" to tackling the problem.

Communities Secretary Aileen Campbell also made clear she was "disappointed" that UK Government ministers had not yet formally responded to the concerns raised by two Special Rapporteurs to the UN Human Rights Council.

A joint communication, published by them in August, found that the economic and social consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic have been particularly severe for poorer households in the UK.
