Monroe: The living wage 'would certainly go a long way'

The living wage is "not the only answer, but it would certainly go a long way" says Jack Monroe in her personal film on benefits and child poverty.

The food blogger and poverty campaigner recalled tougher times as a single mother, which she described as a "world of no money, of a freezing cold flat, the heating turned off, no food in the cupboards."

After her film aired, she debated in the studio with Andrew Neil, Alan Johnson and Michael Portillo - and UK viewers can watch the full programme on the link to the right (for 12 months).
