Yes, I hear you, but can we please focus on the negatives of this?
Think of the adults, I beg you!
Just another example of how right wing and anti-working class Labour are!
All those kids will still be in poverty, but at least their lazy ass parents won’t have to be sober and drug free as often!
I can’t afford to have kids. But according to Labour I can afford to pay for other people’s kids.
I wonder if there’ll ever be a time when this government considers the benefits bill to be too high?
No child should have to ever be hungry. However, how is this going to actually help children? There are some scumbag parents who will pocket the extra money for their own benefit whilst still neglecting kids.
Implementing this law without seriously considering child neglect half solves the problem.
I don’t want to even talk about why tax payers should foot the bill for parents who continue to have kids despite knowing their financial limitations. The whole thing is a mess.
Insane levels of tax, yet we’re still not even breaking even. What’s the answer? Even more spending!
Take this money. Build private school style boarding schools and take the kids out those shitty environments. Give them the ladder they need to climb out. Even give the parents half it to send their children there and I know there’ll be parents packing their bags for them.Teaching in a school where this will just be eaten up by narcissistic arseholes who don’t take the responsibility of being a parent seriously has made me horribly jaded. I wish more than anything this would pay for children to have a better life but I just don’t believe it’s worth the money that it will cost.
I had to read to about the 20th paragraph to find out what the “two child limit” was actually limiting.
Apparently not the ability to have more than two children but some government handouts. I’m sure all these people will now vote Labour.
Daily Mail stories of unemployed mums on benefits with 15 kids in 3…2…1…
As much as this will probably benefit the people who get the payments, i wish we would stop using these completely lazy and arbitrary definitions of poverty.
Relative poverty in this country will always, defnitionally, stay at a fairly stable level short of catastrophic wage compression (which we aren’t miles away from in fairness) because it is measured as anyone earning less than i think 60% of the median wage.
That means if the median wage was £1million then anyone on less than £600,000 would be in poverty by this governments workings.
It disturbs me how many political pundits and parties use this definition of poverty to suit their agenda. Even though I have a ridiculous example there to illustrate the point, the vast majority of people in “poverty” in this country are not in poverty in any regular sense of the word, which would be know as “absolute” poverty.
If only we could focus more on actual tangible metrics relating to quality of life, consumption and spending power to really gauge the sorts of lives we are living.
Politicians put the cap in there and could have removed it any time. This is no heroic feat… they’re simply undoing their own fuck Ups.
Don’t cheer for this… it shouldn’t have been a thing in the first place!
Children are the tax payers of tomorrow. Feeding them is the least we can do
So does this mean the more kids u have the more benefits you’re gonna get?
The U.K has the 2nd highest rate of childhood poverty in developed countries it’s about time.
