The most cost-effective way to reduce child poverty is to abolish the two-child limit, which would cost £7,480 per child lifted out of poverty.
If it is not scrapped then one-in-three children will be in poverty by 2029-39, including half of children in large families 👉 buff.ly/oiV5Re2

685,500 Britons (1%) have wealth of £2.8trn. 48m (70%) have £2.4trn.
Richest four have more wealth than 20m people combined.
Govt could have taxed the rich, chose to cut benefits of the disabled/poor.
Not acceptable. Tell your MP to oppose the cuts.

Translation - bailout, bigger bills, no fines for sewage dumping & leaks, no restraint on dividends & exec pay.

Malcolm X was assassinated 60 yrs ago today. See his timeless wisdom on the true meaning of “progress.”
“If you stick a knife 9 inches in & take it out 6—that’s not progress. Progress is healing the wound. They wont even admit the knife is there.”
