Also who cares why they did it? What matters is it's done. (In any case reducing poverty is one reason people vote for Labour MPs so mollifying is kind of the point of elected them).
I'm hearing criticisms of the end to the two child limit, because it was done just to mollify Labour backbenchers, at a cost of £billions.
I remember another govt delivering a referendum on EU membership, just to mollify restive backbenchers. That's costing way, way more... A little perspective?

Whenever I pass a dog on a walk, I let it sniff my hand and say hello. Though I like dogs, I'm also doing a check-in like the original Terminator film to prove I'm a human, not a flesh covered robot. If you're with me and don't let the dog sniff you, I'll be judging/suspicious.

Tory front benches equally furious at a tax on mansions and hundreds of thousands of kids being pulled out of poverty. Shameful stuff.

The BBC is reporting details from Shumeet Banerji's resignation letter from the BBC Board.
Pretty obvious implication is that Samir Shah has been running the board incompetently, and not defending executives against Robbie Gibb and chums.

King Charles has no many medals on his chest. It's amazing! He must have led the army, navy, and airforce into action at every major military interaction for the last 50 years. Our King is a military hero and I'd love to hear him talk about his time leading troops into action.

Brexit came about because of Russian influence on the referendum. A blind man could see that. The British are still in denial and won’t even talk about the disaster that Brexit has been for them. It was a Russian plot to weaken the EU and it worked.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests.
Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn

Brexit has cost each and every one of us £3,700 a year.
But instead of solving the problem, Labour are using Brexit as an excuse to raise your taxes.
My message ahead of the Budget: Stop blaming Brexit and start fixing it!

I don't understand why Labour doesn't just say Brexit was, is and will continue to be an unmitigated disaster. Until the problem is accepted then it will never be rectified. At least the lib Dems have a plan.

Medium size eggs are perfectly fine. Buying large eggs doesn't give you noticeably more egg, it just encourages selective breeding that hurts the hens.
