Amazing news for struggling families and their children, including the 47% of children living in poverty in the PM's constituency.
This must act as a down payment to further investment in a child poverty strategy which scraps the 2child limit.

I wish this was an April Fools joke. But it is not.
Children in poverty, and people in receipt of disability benefits are not two separate groups. If the govt wants to reduce the number of children living in poverty they need to ensure that the benefits system is properly funded.
