I do get that the two child limit and and welfare cap are popular with the public (and I get why).
But the consequences of this are not popular and ultimately matter more both in the real world and electorally.

Shocking news. 36% of UK children are living in poverty according to the latest Social Metrics Commission research (I am one of the Commissioners)

Bluesky is now the #2 social app in the US, Canada, and #3 in the UK 🦋
On bsky, ~30% of y'all are posters compared to the 1% main characters on other platforms. Turns out there's more chattiness & connection when you have algorithmic choice 🤭

It's hard to understand why the government and MPs remain on X given its behaviour.
Not surprising but still shocking:
- Pre-Musk Twitter complied with 92% of requests to take down threats against MPs.
- Now it's 8% 'if that'. (@LindsayHoyle_MP )
Such a shame to see the platform dragged down like this.

If you like something, don’t just like it, retweet it. Otherwise nobody sees it. Easiest way to find people is go through other’s followers lists. Also, I have spent the last two weeks trying to introduce everybody I know from before on my timeline, so you might find people there.
