Kendall rules out lifting two-child benefit cap, but says child poverty a priority

  • Liz Kendall, head of the Department for Work and Pensions, stated that the Labour Party will not lift the two-child benefit cap, acknowledging its severe impact on families and children.
  • The two-child benefit cap prevents families from receiving extra support for additional children, pushing many deeper into poverty.
  • The cap currently affects over 1.6 million children, and experts assert that abolishing it is crucial for reducing child poverty in the UK.
  • Child poverty levels have reached a record high of 4.5 million, and cutting welfare will likely push an additional 50,000 children into poverty.
