In a recent PMQs session, Kemi Badenoch raised the issue of child poverty by questioning Keir Starmer's stance on the two-child benefit cap, a policy linked to increased poverty rates. She highlighted that this cap enjoys public support based on the argument that it is unjust for the state to financially support families having more than two children. Starmer’s avoidance of a direct answer indicated the delicate balance he must strike between party demands and public opinion. Meanwhile, the government announced a policy to extend access to free school meals to help alleviate poverty.
