Scrapping the cap in full shouldn’t even be up for debate.
Labour cannot afford to continue to dither on its promise of alleviating child poverty. This cruel and immoral policy must be abolished.

For 40 years, workers’ share of national income has fallen as union rights eroded—made worse by 14 years of Tory wage stagnation.
Labour’s task is to raise living standards.
The Employment Rights Bill delivers that—let’s defend it and deliver a fairer world of work.

In yesterday's pre-budget speech Rachel Reeves said she was focused on "protecting the NHS".
Private funding has been disaster for the NHS. Trusts are paying back up to 27* over their original PFI deals.
The best way to protect it is to say NO to a new round of private finance arrangements.

The most urgent task of the Labour government is clear: raising living standards. Trade unions are central to that.
They are the vehicle through which better pay, safer working conditions, and fairer working workplaces can be achieved. Equipping them effectively is fundamental.
