David Cameron lectures India on poverty, forgets that his own country has 18% absolute poverty and 11% cannot even afford to heat their homes.

"The need for India to grow and pull people out of poverty is great," Foreign Secretary David Cameron said during his meddling into India affair at parliament on Wednesday (April 18).

India reduced extreme poverty from 12.2% in 2011 to just 2% in 2023, according to the Headcount Poverty Ratio. Meanwhile, absolute poverty in the UK stands at 18%, according to govt figures.
