Every day, 109 children are pushed into poverty because of the two-child benefit cap. Scrapping it could instantly lift up to 500,000 kids out of hardship and it could be funded just by raising online gambling tax from 21% to 50%. Do you agree that ending this cruel policy is a moral imperative?

What I find amazing is the punishment for having more than 2 children exists at the same time as a mass panic about an aging population and declining birthrate. Maybe instead of expecting everyone to have exactly enough children, we could let some have fewer and others have more?

Could you please start working on removing the spare room subsidy (bedroom tax) this would be another way of stopping homelessness and pulling a lot of people out of poverty .
