The government is considering getting rid of the two-child benefit cap first brought in by the Conservatives, but it seems to be tearing the right-wing, and especially, Reform, apart.

Government figures show one in nine children (1.6m) are impacted by the two-child limit.

In the first three months Labour were in power, 10,000 children were pulled into poverty by the cap, the Child Poverty Action Group found.

In May, it said another 109 children are pulled into poverty each day by the limit, adding to the 4.5 million already in poverty.

The Resolution Foundation said the cap would increase the number of children in poverty to 4.8 million by the next election in 2029-30.

Torsten Bell, the foundation’s former chief executive and now a Labour Treasury minister, said scrapping the cap would lift 470,000 children out of poverty.

This is the perfect example of someone trying to talk about a policy that they are clueless about and tie themselves in increasing knots from the moment they open their mouth

This is good. Reform don't come out well when they are under scrutiny like here on TalkTV. There will be a lot more of this in coming months. https://t.co/hhgzyPbHCn
