We agree! 👇The two-child limit needs to be scrapped now. Doing so would life 300,000 children out of poverty immediately. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

We are attending Action for Children’s launch for Paying the Price of Child Poverty. The research shows that scrapping the 2 child limit is essential to reducing child poverty. Just focusing on measures like employment support for parents is not enough. Liz Kendall Bridget Phillipson

These stories are just a few among the millions of young people still dealing with the impact of childhood poverty. Countless more children will grow up to face the same, if nothing changes. Sign the open letter and ask the government to take action now: bit.ly/4iR3EYI

We joined End Child Poverty in Westminster this morning to stand together against rising child poverty. Today's figures show 4.5 million children are now in poverty in the UK - and yesterday’s benefit reforms will push an additional 50,000 children into poverty by 2030.

The latest figures of 4.5 million, showing 200,000 more children living in poverty, are the highest levels of child poverty the UK has seen in decades. Sign the letter from young campaigners calling for the #ChildPovertyStrategy to deliver on its promises bit.ly/4lngEaX

The Children’s Charities Coalition is urging the Chancellor to invest more into children’s social care. This will enable local authorities to rebuild early intervention services preventing more children and families reaching crisis point. Full statement: bit.ly/42fxvU6

This weekend marks the 8th year the two-child limit on benefit payments has been in place. 1 child every 13 mins falls into poverty because of this policy. The govt must scrap it, and the overall cap, in the upcoming Child Poverty Strategy End Child Poverty Action for Children

Alongside Child Poverty Action Group, Barnardo’s & others, we wrote to Keir Starmer to urge him to deliver the real change that children & families need. Without ambitious action, it could be the first time child poverty significantly rises under a Labour government. 1/2 mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Child Poverty Action Group Barnardo’s Keir Starmer The two-child limit pushes more & more children into poverty every day & will act as a brake on any other action taken by government to reduce poverty. There can be no road to sustainable national growth unless child poverty reduces at scale & pace. #NoLimitsToChildhood 2/2
