What does the #BenefitCap mean for families?
For parents like Christina and Danielle, it means you can't take your kids on days out.
It means kids worrying about money.
The benefit cap it denying children some of the joys of childhood.
10 years of the #BenefitCap.
250,000 kids trapped in deep poverty because of it.
Families left to live on as little as £44 a week after paying their rent.
It has to go.

@NationalTheatre Lady MacDuff: "But I remember now
I am in this earthly world; where to do harm
Is often laudable, to do good sometime
Accounted dangerous folly"
I paraphrase it but the meaning stays with me whenever I read about our current government.
Thank you for the lovely comments after my son’s impromptu appearance mid-live-broadcast. I can confirm that his high-stakes negotiating skills netted him two chocolate digestives
#KeirStarmer is sadly marking #ArmedForcesDay with gushing praise for the military. He's not focusing on povety and ill-health faced by veterans, levels of abuse within the forces, the people harmed by UK forces or their history of colonial aggression. https://t.co/wziDsJHvDQ
#KeirStarmer says he'll 'listen' to the armed forces. We hope he'll also listen to personnel whose reports of abuse and racism are ignored, veterans blowing the whistle on the reality of recent wars and Yemeni civilians being attacked by Saudi bombers who are trained by the RAF.
We're sorry to see @UKLabour's Shadow 'Defence' Secretary calling for an increase in the size of the armed forces. This wouldn't make us any safer. We need to tackle the real threats we face such as pandemics, poverty and climate change. https://t.co/Olphkvi92T #ArmedForcesDay
What's Wrong With Armed Forces Day?
Our latest Warrior Nation podcast with @PPUtoday's own @SymonHill, hosted by @joejglenton, is out now!

I am incredibly cynical of Armed Forces Day. I’m a #veteran. We make up about 10% of the U.K. prison population. We have about approx 13,000 members of our community #Homeless. We have a suicide epidemic. Sort the #Housing, #Health & #SocialCare before giving us another parade.
