“This from a Labour Party whose core purpose is helping children out of poverty, not putting children into poverty.” It is “astonishing” a Labour government tried to push through their cuts to disability benefits Jackie Long says

@JackieLongc4 Labour voters are full of buyers' remorse

@JackieLongc4 Really! Woman still stuck in 70s. They’ve not been like that since then. That’s why they’re called Red Tory’s.

@JackieLongc4 What on earth is Jackie Long doing editorialising with her opinions on this topic !? Report the FACTS and let US decide !! It's bad enough when Krishnan G-M does this, but he's a lost cause. I would hope you'd be better than that tosh !!

Jeremy Corbyn MP nails it: ‘She [Reeves] has already taken £5bn out of the Welfare state’ ‘People didn’t vote Labour for them to take a knife to welfare’ ‘For a Labour Government to push more children into poverty is utterly disgraceful’ Labour is rancid. Labour is finished.

Scotland is the only part of the UK where child poverty is falling, thanks to the different choices we made. Labour has chosen the path of austerity cuts. What is the point of a Labour government that will push 50,000 more children into poverty, according to its own figures?

Zack Polanski, "I would reject the idea that the Labour party are a progressive vote" "The Labour party since they got into office have continued austerity" "They tried to cut disability benefits" "More children going into poverty" "They brought Mandelson into the heart of government" "And we've seen an ongoing genocide in Gaza" "The idea that this Labour government offers any kind of progressive politics is for the birds"

New figures show that 700,000 families already in poverty will be pushed further into it by the disability cuts. This flies in the face of what a Labour government is meant to do. A real Labour way forward is to drop the cuts and tax extreme wealth instead.

The two-child benefit cap was a Conservative policy designed to push children into poverty. Labour have kept it in since. The Green Party has consistently called for it to be scrapped. If Labour now plans to end it, it should've never taken this long. #EndChildPoverty

870,000 children live in families who receive PIP. 290,000 of these children are already in poverty. What will happen to them if the government forces through disability benefit cuts? Over 100 Labour MPs have made it clear that these cuts are reckless. Let's drop them.

I’m so proud that our Labour Government are removing the two child benefit cap from April - announced in today’s Budget. This will lift over a massive 450,000 children out of poverty across the country. This is the difference a Labour Government makes.

Instead of slashing welfare and disability benefits — forcing more disabled people and children into poverty — the government could introduce a 2% tax on assets over £10 million. It would raise £24 billion — five times the savings from these cuts. This is austerity 2.0.

Labour is lifting half a million children out of poverty. Reform wants to put them straight back there. Nigel Farage should be ashamed.

Labour governments are meant to lift people out of poverty - not push them into it. But that’s what the cuts to disability support will do - with half a million more people forced to rely on food banks. My interview on LBC on why I’m voting against these devastating cuts.

Labour Governments are elected to reduce poverty. No ifs, no buts—if we don't, nobody will. Lifting the two-child limit is the most cost-effective way to get kids out of poverty. This benefits EVERYONE. Healthier, better-educated children mean a stronger future for all.

This week, as a Labour Government, we took action in the Budget to lift children out of poverty - that will help 1620 kids living here in East Lothian.
