In place since 2017, the two-child limit has been punishing millions of children across the UK for having more than two siblings.
It's time for change.
Reminder that 2021 research commissioned by Labour found that child poverty costs us £38bn a year (eg extra costs to public services, lower tax take and wages)

Advice agencies are vital in a cost-of-living crisis, ensuring Londoners are aware of entitlements & where to seek support. I was pleased to visit the @SWLLawCentres to hear how advice services funded by @MayorofLondon are working closely with community partners
Why this matters:
.@MayorofLondon is committed to supporting refugees who have come to London to rebuild their lives. That's why today, on the first anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, he has announced funding for up to 600 affordable homes for Ukrainians and Afghans fleeing conflict
As the cost of living crisis continues, the @MayorofLondon & London boroughs have launched a campaign to ensure older Londoners receive full Pension Credit benefits. Across the capital, targeted letters will inform them of how to apply for the scheme.
