NEW: Rachel Reeves signals she intends to remove the two-child cap *in full*
"I don't think a child should be penalised because they're in a bigger family through no fault of their own," she tells BBC.

Woeful messaging from the government on this. yes, to keep your promise you would need to reduce spending..... but you chose to promise not to increase tax....
Rachel Reeves lets the cat out of the (already threadbare) bag about the looming break to the manifesto:
“It would of course be possible to stick with the manifesto commitments but that would require things like deep cuts in capital spending.”

It’s clear that Rachel Reeves needs to raise income tax at the Budget.
But limiting how much people can save in their pensions is absolutely ridiculous!
How will this stop the ballooning social security bill from getting worse? More people will need more state pension!
Shortsighted nonsense!

Radical and riveting: Is Rosalía's Lux the year's best album?
Recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra, and featuring multiple arrangements from Pulitzer Prize winner Caroline Shaw, it's a radical, rebellious operatic opus that sounds like nothing else in the pop sphere.

We literally never heard a peep about prisoner release errors when the Tories were in power. They were happening all the time. And yet, everything was silent. But now? National crisis. 🤷♂️

Win after win for Democrats. But obviously it’s the Democrats that need to get their act together and learn the lessons of MAGA. (When in reality I’m more sure than ever it was the fact they let Biden hang on so long when everybody knew he doesn’t do the job for another 4 years)

Danny Kruger’s interview this morning feels like a cautionary tale for Tory MPs thinking of defecting. He’s about to launch his grand new Reform policy and instead has to painfully blither that yes Sarah Pochin shouldn’t be suspended and what the difference is between racism and racist intent.

Is saying that the Jews run the world antisemitic or just vigilant? Tune in for next week's episode of "is it racist to be racist"
Is the Reform MP who says she’s driven mad by TV adverts full of Black & Asian people a racist or realist? How many migrants would the Tories expel? & should the UK be selling fighter jets to Türkiye?
