New Labour benefits row sees Keir Starmer urged to axe two-child limit as those affected soar
A heated debate has erupted in British politics, with critics urging Labour Party leader Keir Starmer to reconsider the government’s controversial two-child benefit cap. The policy, which restricts tax credits and child benefit payments to only the first two children per family, has sparked outrage among supporters who claim it disproportionately affects low-income households.
According to new data released today, an unprecedented number of families have been caught in this draconian measure, leaving thousands on the brink of financial catastrophe. The sharp increase in those impacted has led many experts and opposition leaders to call for a complete overhaul of the policy.
While some government officials argue that lifting the cap would be too costly, others claim it’s essential to address the escalating poverty rates in the country. Critics have long accused the Conservative government of targeting the most vulnerable members of society with this draconian measure.
Starmer has come under intense pressure to reconsider his stance on this issue and instead advocate for policies that truly support working-class families.
