Whatever else this government do (and there's plenty of issues with this budget) ministers will always be able to point to this as an incredible important contribution to the country's future. Almost half a million kids taken out of poverty.
Scrapping the two-child limit in full is a monumental decision. Well done to all involved in the Child Poverty Strategy, and everyone who has made the case against the policy.
OBR says scrapping costs £3 billion in 2029-30 and will lift 450,000 out of poverty

Over the last month I've grown increasingly tired of current affairs programmes where the commentators and guests have been speculating on the speculation about the speculation about the budget and then speculated about their own speculation.

Political 'journalists' no longer report on the facts and truth.
They share gossip and speculation.
And when the facts are know they move on to the next round of speculation and gossip.
I can guarantee you before the end of today, many in the media will be speculating about the next Budget!
