Such important context for the scrapping of the two child limit:
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.

Very good, and thank you @pimlicat.bsky.social for being the first person I've seen on telly to articulate this well.
Our CEO @pimlicat.bsky.social on why the UK's disability benefits system PIP is deeply flawed.
"It will ask a question like, 'can you walk 200 metres?' Maybe you can if you have MS, but what you can't then do is get out of bed for two days. So you score zero on the PIP form."

Politics is ultimately about choices: how you raise cash and where you spend it. Labour acts as if they are forced to cut disability benefits but leading economists say they can avoid it by taxing the super rich. Spending cuts are a political choice. Don’t let them pretend otherwise.
