Labour MPs and anti-poverty campaigners are urging Sir Keir Starmer to eliminate the two-child benefit cap in an upcoming budget, warning that delays will perpetuate child poverty.
Kim Johnson emphasized the importance of immediate action, stating it is unacceptable for Labour to wait before addressing the challenges facing four million children living in poverty.
John McDonnell criticized the government's lack of urgency regarding the two-child limit, highlighting it as a failure to understand the dire need for immediate, radical measures.
Concerns mount as the first Labour budget approaches, with warnings that austerity-era policies risk keeping hundreds of thousands of children in poverty if not addressed in the budget.
