Under Tory Govt in 2024, child poverty in UK reached a record high, with 4.5 million children (31%) living in relative poverty
So of course they’d go ape over starving UK children being helped by Labour’s budget..
It doesn’t fit with Tories keeping the poor in their place.. what what❗️😡

"It's amazing what people get so angry about and on that side it's lifting children out of poverty," says Rachel Reeves as Conservative MPs try to shout down her announcement that she is scrapping the two child benefit cap which has pushed hundreds of thousands of children below the poverty line

Rising Green Party poll numbers 📈 secured the removal of the two child benefit cap.
A huge win! 🏆
Also placing more money in the pockets of people who will spend it in the economy ♻️ rather than tax breaks for rich companies or people who hoard it to take it offshore.

Alongside many campaigners, the Green Party have absolutely dragged the Labour Government to finally end the child cap.
Labour politicians disgracefully defended it for far too long.
This shows why the Green Party membership rising and rising matters.

£26 billion tax rise announced today in Labour's budget
£90 billon, how much tax revenue is lost because of Brexit EVERY Year
The reason taxes are going up and spending is being cut is because we can't afford stuff because of Brexit!

🔥 Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study quantifies it:
A 6–8% hit to GDP
That's £180bn-£240bn a year
It means less tax revenue and so less money for everything.
Brexit made Britain MUCH poorer.
