“The cost-effective way of getting more children out of poverty… is abolishing the two-child limit.” Former PM @GordonBrown calls on the government to drop the two-child benefit cap, arguing that there has been “a wrong diagnosis of the poverty problem” #Peston

Cutting disability support is unpopular and will hit Labour areas hardest. There is an alternative to austerity: ▪️Withdraw the planned cuts. ▪️Work with disabled people to create a fairer system. ▪️Tax the wealthiest to pay for it.

If the Government chooses to bring harmful disability benefit cuts to Parliament, I will not vote to make my constituents poorer. I will vote against these proposals. My statement below. 👇

The Government’s own analysis shows disability benefit cuts will force hundreds of thousands into poverty. There is an alternative: bin austerity policies and tax the rich to tackle poverty & ill health at their root. My article for @tribunemagazine 👇🏼

'The government is right is that there is a moral crusade. But it is to tackle the social determinants of ill health and the causes of poverty — not to cut the benefits of the poorest and most vulnerable in our society,' writes @NeilForPoole. tribunemag.co.uk/2025/03/the-wr…

Liz Kendall rightly said “child poverty is a scar on our society. It harms children’s life chances and our country as a whole.” The government has rightly committed to tackling child poverty head on through its Child Poverty Taskforce… (2/3)

The cuts to welfare announced in this week’s spring statement risk driving thousands of children into poverty, the polar opposite of what a Labour government should do. We strongly urge the Chancellor to reconsider these cuts. (1/3)

A couple of years ago I proposed a law in Parliament to introduce free school meals for all. This would tackle child poverty and guarantee every primary school pupil has a hot healthy meal each day. Today I joined campaigners in Westminster to renew this call.

I support scrapping the two-child benefit cap, which is absolutely essential to tackle child poverty. I hope that by working closely and constructively with our Labour Govt, and with more time to find the funding, we have the chance to scrap it as soon as possible. My letter👇🏾

I voted tonight to scrap the two-child limit, and I am disappointed to have had the whip suspended over this vote. But it was important for me to stand up for my constituents who are amongst the worst affected by a policy that every organisation fighting child poverty has urged the Government to scrap. The two-child limit is one of the biggest factors driving the soaring child poverty rate that sees almost half of all children in Bradford East living in homes that are unable to make ends meet. I remain committed to this Government's bold plans for a New Deal for Working People, Great British Energy, public ownership of rail, and others to undo 14 years of damage caused by the Tories, but as I set out last week, we must do much more to address child poverty.
