You voted initially to keep the two-child cap and help keep children in poverty. You voted to remove the winter fuel payment to vulnerable pensioners. This whole Labour propaganda onslaught that would have people believe that simply removing the two-child cap removes poverty is an unbelievably cynical deception and lie. Poverty is caused by a myriad of socio-economic factors that impact upon all aspects of life. Deprivation, lack of opportunity, lack of amenities, cultural poverty, quality of housing, physical and mental health etc etc. You are, in your gilded Westminster bubble, so far removed from the lives and lived experience of many ordinary people.
Proud to close this parliamentary session that has delivered real change.
From stronger workers’ & renters rights to holding water companies to account & lifting thousands of children out of poverty.
Labour will keep building on this progress for working families across the UK.
