I can see the logic of that.

Absolutely disagree with stopping state pension for wealthiest and means-testing. Doesn’t cost much and would be the road to reducing year after year who is eligible. Keep universal benefits universal. No other wealthy country means tests state pensions.

They should fire the person responsible - and/or maybe their line manager, or director, or whatever level should be reasonably responsible for double-checking this.

The Chair resigning won't help at all in terms of increasing proper accountability.

That's a remarkably young PM.

"of the 80s, '90s, '00s, '10s and '20s" is not an unreasonable interpretation of "of the last five decades".

The two child benefit cap also affects the child element of Universal Credit, which is around £2,500.

So with child benefit it is around £3,500 per child.

Government estimates that the average family affected will gain c. £5,300, which is not a trivial amount, for good or ill.

SEND spending is utterly out of control - the unintended consequence of the Children and Families Act 2014.

But any meaningful reform will mean taking on powerful lobbies - and parents who only want the best for their children.

After the welfare rebellion, can it be done?

As one of the lucky £1k/year-ers, I feel even more fortunate.

I look back at how angry we were about that £1k: we didn't realise we were (still) some of the lucky ones.
