Thanks to Mary Kelly Foy MP for tabling this Early Day Motion (a bit like a petition for MPs to sign) on the two-child limit, highlighting our new research: edm.parliament.uk/early-day-moti…
We urge all MPs who can to sign up to this.
The 2-child limit is a policy which unfairly targets vulnerable families Rishi Sunak did you know that 50% of families impacted are single parents? Or that 20% of households have at least 1 disabled child?

When will it end? New figures from End Child Poverty clearly show that the two-child limit is a policy which pushes single parents, and families with disabled children, into poverty – the very families that our benefit system should be helping. theguardian.com/society/2024/a… #2childlimit
Thanks Channel 4 News for covering our stunt today to mark the 7th unhappy birthday of the two-child limit to benefit payments.
In this election year, all political parties serious about tackling child poverty must commit to scrapping this sibling tax.

We've delivered an unhappy birthday card and letter to Mel Stride & Department for Work and Pensions calling for an end to the 2-child limit to benefit payments.
Tomorrow is the 7th anniversary of this policy. 7 years of suffering for the poorest families

Tomorrow is the 7th birthday of the 2 child limit to benefit payments. This cruel policy pushes families into poverty and must be scrapped.
We took this message to Department for Work and Pensions in a way that can't even ignored. A giant unhappy birthday card.
Today at Westminster, we confront the 7-year anniversary of #SiblingTax with an #UnhappyBirthday card. This cruel policy has driven countless children into poverty.
With End Child Poverty, we demand the UK government abolish it and lift 250,000 children out of poverty.

I love to celebrate birthdays but this is one we can never celebrate. And it still continues to exist, pulling hundreds of thousands of children into poverty #twochildlimit End Child Poverty
Our Campaigns Officer, Evangeline, visited Department for Work and Pensions today as part of the End Child Poverty coalition to mark the upcoming 7th anniversary of the two-child limit.
This cruel, unfair policy plays a huge part in child poverty. We can't let it see another birthday #AllKidsCount

A good conversation about the recent and unfortunately unsurprising child poverty statistics on the Byline Times podcast - listen here: pod.fo/e/229c46 - I learnt a lot from a fellow Joe at Joseph Rowntree Foundation today! #twochildlimit #essentialsguarantee End Child Poverty Buttle UK
🚨People living in poverty find it harder to live a healthy life, live with more illnesses, and die earlier than rest of population.
New The King's Fund report with @JRF_uk exposes the staggering toll poverty is taking on NHS services.
