Only a matter of time. I don't see why they haven't scrapped it already, it seems like such an easy, and not particularly costly, win.

Forget national defence. Sack the Ukraine aid off then. Pull all funding for immigration and cancel foreign aid? cancel that 5.5% for teachers and the rest agreed this week?
This is the poison chalice that has been driven into the heart of the country by the tory scum. No one said it'd be easy.
Anyone find me a few previous posts from those highlighting 2 child cap for benefit please. I mean, those that care this much must be able to remember taking a stand at the time and not just now it's on labours watch....
Don't care.

You'd expect a party like the conservatives to make a law like this, and you'd expert a party such as 'labour' to reverse it. A saving 1.2b a year is absolutely nothing in government money, there is no excuse
I read it was 3B yearly. I hope I'm wrong.

What do you mean you dont care. Suspending MPs because they want to feed kids. You dont care.

Nope.
Told you, don't wanna hear it for 4 years.
If you wanna pick apart everything he does for the next 4 years, knock yourself out.
Of course I care about kids going hungry, but I am not playing your stupid games.
Come see me in 4 years and I will let you know how it's gone.

Still, not a lot. The next generation are always the most important, there is absolutely no sticking up for this

That's not the way it works.
You have to own it now. All of it.
The left bashing, the cuts, the jingoism, the wars.
People were up in arms when the conservatives scrapped it.
But people expect a Labour government to be better and reverse much of the austerity the tories brought in.
In the grand scheme of things, scrapping the benefit cap doesn’t cost that much. It’s an easy win for them.
This is a choice they’re making. All you’re showing is you’re willing to believe anything the government tell you.
Good luck with that. They fully deserve the criticism they are getting.
This isn’t a game of Labour Vs the tories. Hold both to account.
