There is no way the two child cap would have been removed if it had not been for the Green party surging in the polls.
If, like me, you think that this is nowhere near enough, then all the more reason to #VoteGreen and join.greenparty.org.uk

Alongside many campaigners, the Green Party have absolutely dragged the Labour Government to finally end the child cap.
Labour politicians disgracefully defended it for far too long.
This shows why the Green Party membership rising and rising matters.

A Government of cowards.
Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.
They can't get away with this.

To suggest that having lived a life so grim that even an English tribunal will grant you asylum, and to have somehow managed to get here at great risk to life, is a "golden ticket" is absolutely fucking contemptible. Shame on this so-called Labour Party.

Good question. Clearly has a strong authoritarian streak. To
me, it makes sense that he comes from a family of country estate gamekeepers: ensuring that the elites have plenty to shoot and aren’t bothered by the peasants while they enjoy their killing. www.countryside-alliance.org/resources/ne...

It is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people.
