This weekend marks the 8th year the two-child limit to benefit payments has been in place. 1 child every 13 mins falls into poverty because of this policy.

The govt must scrap it in the upcoming Child Poverty Strategy. @EndChildPoverty

Read our response to the new child poverty figures in the @BigIssue 👇

[Resolve Poverty @resolvepoverty]

“The forthcoming Child Poverty Strategy must go beyond sticking-plaster solutions. We need to see real policy change that addresses the root issue and protects and supports low income households – for example, lifting the two-child limit and benefit cap."

[Resolve Poverty @resolvepoverty]

🚨 The @DWPgovuk has released its annual Households Below Average Income statistics, which show that child poverty has reached a record high – with 4.5 million children in the UK now below the poverty line. This figure is up from 3.6 million in 2010/11.

🚨 CONFIRMED: Social security for disabled people has been slashed in the Spring Statement.

This is cruel, irresponsible and shameful.

People at food banks are already telling us that they’re terrified about how they will survive.

Read our response to the Spring Statement below

[Resolve Poverty @resolvepoverty]

As Rick Burgess of the @GMCDP wrote in our recent conference bulletin, "We urgently need to understand that sufficient income that covers the extra costs of disability is an investment in a socially just and exciting future."

⚠️ Today’s announced cuts to #DisabilityBenefits risk plunging more people into poverty.

The govt’s commitment to ‘break down barriers to opportunity’ is at odds with policies that reduce income for disabled people, who are more likely to experience poverty and barriers to work.

[Cllr Pete Lowe 🌹📈 @LabourPete]

Well it’s clear that I made the right decision to leave the Labour Party after 41 years membership!

Attacking the most vulnerable is never the answer!

Tax the mega rich and protect those in most need!

Principles over Party

I know whose side I am on!

Heartbreaking!

Some thoughts ahead of the Chancellor's #SpringStatement later today. Sticking to arbitrary fiscal rules is a choice & cutting spending is unlikely to deliver savings in the long run. Follow @NEF for updates and commentary during the day.

[Katie Schmuecker @KatieSchmuecker]

Quite an extraordinary story.

And one that rather gives the lie to the idea that the Government’s cuts to disability benefits were driven by a moral mission about work. It’s about fiscal rules…
