Scrapping the two-child cap is both anti-poverty & pro-learning. Children don’t come to school ready to learn if they live in poverty. Teachers can’t focus on teaching if they’re plugging gaps elsewhere. What goes on outside the school gates makes a big difference inside them.

Yesterday, I escorted the girls to school. The school is nearby and they go cycling. In our Uganda a child lives in nansana goes to school at Kabojja in Kololo. That same child can’t commute by themselves. If they come cycling, they’ll be laughed at.

The two-child cap pushed half of children in larger families into poverty. Today, Labour abolishes it. I stood for office to stop drawing charts and start changing them. This change will see the biggest drop in child poverty of any parliament on record. Know what that is? Hope.

Kevin Maguire on scrapping the 2 child benefit cap: "It is better for the country.. they'll do better at school & they'll become more productive adults in later years" Kevin is right, child poverty impacts on economic chances in later life (it also affects health outcomes too)

The childrens commissioner: "If we ban the two child limit, you would lift about 500,000 children out of poverty immediately. It's the most efficient way of doing it" Why didn't the govt scrap the cap on day one of coming to power? Why aren't they scrapping it today? #GMB

Miserable woman in green who doesn't have children of her own, who says she wants to lift children out of poverty but doesn't believe that lifting the two child benefit cap will lift them out of poverty Stephen Flynn says this is the advice from experts in the field Miserable man in glasses also chimes in saying he doesn't believe lifting the two child benefit cap will lift children out of poverty as the parents will just spend it on themselves Even without lifting the cap 11.86 million children receive child benefit - surreal that these two suggest that the parents of these children don't do their best to look after their children

According to a new study girls graduating high school are less likely than ever to want to get married, & when the internet saw this they started having a debate on if this was the fault of men or women, but they missed the obvious… It’s the school system. Children leaving the school system don’t value family because the school systems teaching are anti-family…

Brilliant news for children living in poverty - the two-child limit will be scrapped! This will allow children to dream bigger, learn without limits and grow up knowing they are valued. With child poverty levels in the UK at a record high this is welcome news for families up and down the country. Currently 1 in every 9 children live in a home impacted by the policy.

I hoped the govt was finally in listening mode. The PM avoided my question on whether he will take the action to tackle poverty, like scrapping the cruel two-child benefit cap & stopping the unacceptable cuts to disabled people’s support that are still in the welfare Bill.

I met a local bloke who went to Birkdale High School in the 80's. He remembers taxi drivers hanging around outside the school gates trying to talk to school girls and get them to go with them in their cars. If anyone mentioned it, they were immediately labelled racist, both staff and pupils. The racism card is always the first they pull.
