70% of the additional spending from removing the two-child limit will go to families who are in work. This is targeting support for low-income working households who are being priced out of a decent standard of living despite doing everything asked of them.

That’s how much the Government spends on welfare, but what do people receive in return?

Here we can see a generational shift in the generosity of support over the past two decades.

Since 2010, changes to benefits have largely favoured older age groups, while families with children have lost out.

Budget day is here. For all the reasons in this thread & for hundreds more, let’s hope @teamlabouruk.bsky.social does the right thing and gets rid of the two-child limit, a callous policy that has no place in a compassionate country

Benefit changes and larger families
We are a group of university-based researchers investigating how families with more than two children are coping with the benefit cap or the two-child limit.

I think the lessons on childcare reform are rather different from those Iain drew, but his article is incredibly flattering so thank you for sharing

Less than two weeks till the budget. Today, I'm sharing a letter sent to MPs by parents affected by the two-child limit & benefit cap a year ago, which set out their simple plea that every child be treated the same.

Listen and share it (please) @cpaguk.bsky.social
