A bad look for Burghart.
He's my MP, btw.

The economic benefits from scrapping two child limit can outweigh the initial costs. Some estimate the wider economic burden of child poverty at £39bn a year – lifting 10 per cent of children out of poverty will help alleviate this.

Removing the two-child limit accounts for less than 1 per cent of social security bill. To remove 450,000 children out of poverty, that's pretty good return on investment.

70% of the additional spending from removing the two-child limit will go to families who are in work. This is targeting support for low-income working households who are being priced out of a decent standard of living despite doing everything asked of them.

Sorry, I'm fully involved with Brentwood Lib Dems. I don't have the bandwidth to take on anything more.
