Removing the two-child limit accounts for less than 1 per cent of social security bill. To remove 450,000 children out of poverty, that's pretty good return on investment.

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.

If, as Labour continues to do, for example with the language in their Immigration White Paper, you continue to reinforce this narrative, instead of combatting it and doing something to actually tackle deprivation, then of course you will strengthen the likes of Reform. 9/

Good choice of station! Not so much on 6; but the Beebs use of vox pops and the perceived need for balance gives disproportionate airtime to a lot of bigots.

Yep, totally agree. The only episode of his pod I’ve ever listened to was with David Wallace-Wells.

The “small boat crisis” and migrant hotels have been the only domestic issue in town for months. Force fed to us by the national broadcaster and the right wing press. Bang the drum enough and people start to listen. It’s depressing to see flat out racism being mainstreamed.
