ā€œNo-one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark… No-one puts their child in a boat unless the water is safer than the landā€ Warsan Shire’s words never more important. Priti Patel’s #Rwanda plans are vicious & grotesque - utterly shameful. Britain is better than this

The truth about the benefit cap: It doesn’t incentivise work, it leaves children hungry. It must be removed before it harms more young lives.

Two child limit stats out today show numbers of children affected by this policy is now at 1.6m. Child Poverty Action Group report of families affected paints a devastating picture of family life under this policy. It has to go. cpag.org.uk/news/things-wi…

This is important groundwork for a comprehensive child poverty strategy and I'm feeling really hopeful, but some things can't wait. The two child limit has to go, the evidence is overwhelming.

Govt steps towards a child poverty strategy are hugely welcome but children can't wait. The two child limit must go in the Autumn budget.
