They didn’t need a fully funded way as it costs more to keep children in poverty.
Lifting the cap costs £3.5 bn by the end of the decade, keeping the cap in place would cost £40 bn by 2027 (The Big Issue)
the two-child limit on benefits cost? Scrapping the two-child limit on benefits will come at a cost of around £3.5 billion a year by the end of the decade, according to the Resolution Foundation. However, keeping children trapped in poverty also costs the government. Child poverty is set to cost the country around £40bn by 2027, according to estimates from the Women's Budget Group.

😱 Won’t someone think of these poor souls who have dedicated their time (and careers) to the cause
lan Dunt • Follow @iandunt.bsky.social Confiscating jewellery from survivors of a war zone makes you look like a fucking Nazi. And the obscene thing is, that is the intention. It's there to look appropriately harsh. Indecent. Filthy. A moral stain. And no-one of good character would have ever proposed such a thing in the first place. ALT

Russ Jones @russincheshire.b... • 13h I've never felt more ashamed of being a Labour supporter. Not even during Iraq, where at least we had cabinet members resigning in disgust. Now: just jostling for position. If I wasn't already turning my back on the party l've backed my whole life, I would be now. #ImmigrantsWelcome #NotInMyName
