Today is a great day - the two-child limit is finally scrapped. We went to Westminster to mark this moment - highlighting that 450,000 children will be lifted out of poverty by scrapping this policy. Investing in children, and lifting them out of poverty, is always the right decision

New data from the Department for Work and Pensions today highlights that 27% of children across the UK are living in poverty. This government have committed to scrapping the two-child limit, a much needed first step to reducing child poverty. Something which is yet to be reflected in these stats.

Amazing news for struggling families and their children, including the 47% of children living in poverty in the PM's constituency. This must act as a down payment to further investment in a child poverty strategy which scraps the 2child limit. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Our new data shows that in @leicesterliz.bsky.social's constituency 44% of kids live in poverty. Liz has the power to change this, she is one of the MPs responsible for developing a strategy to tackle child poverty. To have impact this strategy must include scraping the 2child limit.

Today marks an unhappy milestone. The 2-child limit to benefit payments has now been in place for 8 yrs. This limits the money families can get when claiming benefits, if their 3rd + child was born after April 2017. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social must scrap this and lift 350,000 children out of poverty

I wish this was an April Fools joke. But it is not. Children in poverty, and people in receipt of disability benefits are not two separate groups. If the govt wants to reduce the number of children living in poverty they need to ensure that the benefits system is properly funded.

We have made it on to @bsky.app. Expect lots of post about UK child poverty - esp the need to scrap the two-child limit, a policy which has been in place for 7 unhappy years. A policy which also pushes families into poverty. Scraping this would lift 300,000 children out of poverty straight away.
