We're being told the #Budget will scrap the #2-ChildBenefitCap but thousands of children in Britain's poorest families will remain in poverty unless the overall #BenefitCap is also scrapped. The Government will be giving with one hand and taking with another #DWP #TheTreasury

#KeirStarmer is a bloody idiot & a busted flush. If he doesn't pivot on #Brexit he let's #Farage of the hook. 4% of #GDP is how much the #OBR says it costs. He could end 2 #childbenefitcap & reduce #NI. Now bloody #ReformUK is out flaking him on left as well as right. #r4today

Is he having a laugh? To the disabled, many pensioners, children in poverty etc it certainly feels like austerity and this time it’s Labour behind the wheel. They have a choice and they’re choosing poverty for us. #LabourAusterity #DisabilityCuts #ChildBenefitCap #WinterFuelPayment #PIPcuts
Labour isn’t aping austerity. We’re ending it.

That said, interesting reactions. I heard a lot of negativity towards lifting of #childbenefitcap. Usual stuff...scroungers etc. Then again voxpops with parents claiming to have gone without, yet full of collagen lips & tattoos. Entire face shows hasnt gone without. So you see why people kick down

How does a non-means tested child benefit lift children out of poverty?

(Working) poor families are entitled to means tested benefits, so who is this policy for?

Every pound spent on non-needy is a pound not available for those who are.

Is this another case of "farmers IHT"? 🤔 #childBenefitCap

Conservative Mel Stride on #bbclaurak thinks tax policy can stop people shagging. Anyone who's popping out loads of kids isn't thinking about contraception let alone tax policy.
