Thanks Guardian politics for featuring our data on the number of children being pushed into poverty by the 2-child limit. Thanks also to Kim Johnson for securing a debate in UK House of Commons on this today. No child shd live in poverty as a result of govt policy #AllKidsCount
Over 34,000 children in the East Midlands are in families subject to the cruel and ineffective two-child limit on benefit payments. As part of the End Child Poverty coalition, we're supporting Kim Johnson in her call for an end to the cap.
