It’s just over two weeks now till the budget. Every night, parents in poverty are lying in bed, unable to sleep, worrying about how to pay essential bills. This can and must be changed. Ending the two-child limit & benefit cap is the right (indeed only) place to start m.youtube.com/watch?v=94fq...

My non-French-speaking husband went every day to the campsite shop in 🇫🇷 proudly returning with both a croissant & a chocolate danish. On the last day, I went with him. Madame stopped me by the caisse and said « Dites à votre mari: c’est pas un panneau chocolate mais un pain au chocolat. » 🥐
