      I feel like beer price is way too prevalent a topic whenever it comes up. Are we really this small minded of a nation.

      It’s worse.’ Proper’ British people get to have cheaper pints AND no child benefit cap. Not proper families have the benefit cap.

      What about the price of blow, can you do something about that Nige?

    5. unbelievablydull82 on

      Great idea! More poverty and more access to alcohol! That’s a progressive country! Bloody imbecile of a man.

      >Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has said he wants to make it easier for people to have children, as he confirmed his party would back more generous tax breaks for married people and **scrap the two-child benefit limit.**

      >In a speech in central London, Farage said he wanted to lift the cap “not because we support a benefits culture” but because it would make things easier for lower-paid workers.

      So which is it nige? Families or cheaper beer? Or is it just cynically saying whatever the other guys aren’t with no substance or credibility?

      Not energy
      Not bills

      Just alcohol because that will solve everything

      I have no respect for anyone following these people at this point it’s an illness

      So if I have ten pints I save 50p?

      The guy is a financial genius!

      In the US it’s guns, in Germany it’s the speed limit and in the UK the price of a pint. Always something that needs to be kept/held/allowed no matter what. 

    11. Scotsman1047 on

      Is this going to become our equivalent of petrol prices in the US?

      Pathetic.

      Sure, the ice caps are weeping into the ocean and civilisation has seemingly dissolved into a screaming match, but let’s not lose perspective: that pint of lager is now a whole five pence cheaper. It’s comforting to know that while we toast marshmallows on the embers of society, we’ll be doing it with a slightly more fiscally responsible buzz.

      As someone with no kids. I’d really rather we didn’t reinstate the cap.

    14. radiant_0wl on

      I didn’t like the two child benefit cap being removed but there’s an alternative of reducing the amount across the board – it doesn’t make sense that a child element add on is more than the adult personal claim value.

    15. Sithfish on

      Very appropriate that this is from big issue as it really is one.

    16. drewlpool on

      Hilarious given that last year he called for the 2 child cap to be scrapped, only to do a 180 once the government announced it would scrap the ban.

    17. SMYLTY on

      Best idea I saw was full benefit for two children, 50% benefit for third child, 25% for fourth child.

    18. lastaccountgotlocked on

      When he was in charge of UKIP, a key manifesto pledge of Farage’s was to put the little crown back on pint glasses.

      If it needs to be said again, Nigel is a deeply, deeply unserious person in charge of a deeply, deeply unserious party.

      He’s rinsing his members/employees, and he’ll rinse the electorate too.

    19. InternationalRich150 on

      And the idiots with 5 kids reliant on UC Will still vote for him because immigration….

    20. speedloafer on

      5p off a pint, so that’s a free pint for every 100 and we get widespread poverty in exchange. You have to be certain kind of special to vote Reform.

    21. Revolutionary-Mode75 on

      Twitter as surprising turn against him on this or may be Iranians bots farms haven’t been spun back up yet.

    22. Catherine_S1234 on

      Kinda sums up reform

      We are gonna cut something genuinely helpful to society by doing a populist brain rot policy that does the opposite of helping society

    23. SeePerspectives on

      Because what we really need as a country is less children being born and more alcoholics? 🤦‍♀️

    24. jonfitzfern on

      Nationalise the breweries! They’re the ones pushing up the prices. We own the breweries, sell beer at cost price, stop paying out dividends to rich folk and stop wasting money on advertising…we’re gonna drink it regardless

      Would this not be a popular move? Feasibility aside…

    25. TheCharalampos on

      Imagine hearing about a policy that would plunge tons of kids into deep poverty but pints would go down by 30p and you go yep, that’s a good one.

    26. millerz72 on

      “Football, beer, and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.”

    27. Namelessbob123 on

      Cut back on the beer or the kids new gear? It’s a big decision in a town called Malice.

    28. Yorkshire_Roast on

      I love a drink. I don’t mind paying a bit of extra tax on what is essentially a luxury item.

    29. 96-62 on

      I can afford my beer already, thank you. I would quite like parents to be able to afford shoes for their kids.

    30. Mimicking-hiccuping on

      I feel like instead of a benefit, there should be a reduction in tax paid. Still £ for £ the same.l, just encourage folks to work, rather than not.

    31. Horror-Protection225 on

      It’s it just me or is Farage actively trying to tank Reform’s poll ratings? 

      The whole press conference was shambles. 5p off a pint in exchange for increasing child poverty is performative cruelty but he also boasted about his connection to Trump, ran scared of a debate with Polanski and was very very relaxed about his treasurer and Ghislaine Maxwell having a longstanding friendship.

      Is he worried he might actually get elected?

    32. Cielo11 on

      Farage is attacking the child benefit cap because he knows there is a very popular Populist conspiracy theory which says Labour removed the cap to help Asian/Muslim families because only they have 2+ children.
      .

    33. downsouthcuz on

      If you cant afford more than two children then you need to be more careful.

    34. sandy_feet29 on

      Farage obviously has a very low opinion of working class men, if he thinks they prioritise beer over feeding kids.

    35. VickiActually on

      How does cutting child benefits reduce the price of beer?

      Unless you take that money the government saves, and then cut tax on pubs by exactly that amount, and then create a law that regulates the price of beer?

      This makes zero sense.

    36. SecureVillage on

      Ah yes, the birth rate crisis is one of the biggest issues of our time, across the world, so let’s ignore that and go for a pint.

    37. Clear_Item_922 on

      The two child benefits cap was good as it was. Not sure why they removed it. You should only have more child benefit if you are on a really low wage.

    38. dewittless on

      Taking food out the mouths of babes to put beer into the stomachs of drunkards.

      Horrifically immoral.
