      Robert Jenrick, now Reform UK’s “shadow chancellor,” announced a major policy shift: the party would fully reinstate the two-child benefit cap if it won power. This reverses earlier signals from party leader Nigel Farage, who had suggested the cap might not apply to British families.

      In a City of London speech, Jenrick argued the UK cannot currently afford looser welfare rules and said restoring the cap could save about ÂŁ3bn by 2029-30. His remarks were aimed at reassuring financial markets and business leaders that Reform would pursue fiscal discipline.

      Jenrick positioned his approach as economically conservative, citing Robert Peel as inspiration and criticising Liz Truss for her “mini-Budget.” He also backed maintaining the pensions triple lock, though Farage later said the policy remains “open for debate.”

      The speech outlined broader welfare reforms, including tightening eligibility for mental-health-related disability benefits and requiring clinical diagnoses.

      Despite having only eight MPs, Reform is polling strongly. Jenrick also pledged to keep the Office for Budget Responsibility and preserve the independence of the Bank of England, signalling continuity with existing fiscal institutions.

      Didnt they say that it wasn’t going to apply to Brits before?

      Bunch of cretins.

      It is a remarkably well supported policy. Average people fucking despise the idea that they pay tax whilst idiots pop out 4 to 5 kids.

      Now in practice we know it just pushed kids into poverty. But it’s a vote WINNER to bring it back.

      Starmer knew this hence wanting to keep the cap but like most of his unpopular policies was dragged into it by the backbenches

      Can we stop discussing this irrelevant bunch of reject Tories. We have Rupert Lowe and Restore to vote for now

      Two child benefit cap and a tax on people that dont have kids. These guys are clowns…

      But, you voted to abolish it. Remember when you and Suella did that?

      I have never seen Reform announce a policy that wasn’t in some way about punishing someone. Party of cruelty and spite.

      Quick! Let’s all rush to vote for hardship, manufactured by billionaires to increase their wealth!

      Would he again try to rob the public of ÂŁ140 million as a favor to a donor?

      Let us stop giving so much attention to an 8 seat party, please.

      Greens don’t get this coverage. No need for Reform to get it either.

      Also: I petition that everywhere Jenrick goes, he should be asked “why is it that you think traumatised children shouldn’t be able to look at cartoon murals you inhumane fuck?”

      Don’t they need British people to have more children to stop the wHiTe gEnOcIde?

      If you need benefits to cover the cost of your children if you’ve more than 2, you shouldn’t have had kids.

      A famously popular policy that caused the current Government absolutely no issues when they declined to remove it.

      -Making things financially more difficult for people having kids
      – While repealing worker rights
      – While cutting immigration into the country

      Yeah this party ain’t offering anything sustainable for the UKs future or anybody who lives here.

      “We’ve an aging population”
      “Why are people having less kids”
      “We’re having too few kids and a declining birthrate”

      This doesn’t fix that

      To save yourself time do the following.

      Whenever you see the words “reform uk would” just stop reading and assume its the opposite of the correct thing to do.

      Alternate headline: Reform i tends to plunge half a million kids back into poverty just so you can have 5p off a pint of bitter.
