Party’s chief data officer has reportedly taken leave of absence after more betting allegations made against Tory party officials
Shadow education secretary Bridget Phillipson has been asked about the two-child cap, which restricts child tax credit and universal credit to the first two children in most households. Labour’s manifesto for government, published last week, included the promise of an “ambitious strategy to reduce child poverty”, but no mention of the two-child limit. Q: You could, for example, choose to unfreeze fuel duty and that would provide you with the £3/3.
You have actually made a choice: you are going to keep motorists where they are and help them out, but not help families with more than two children. Phillipson said she wishes that Labour could “wave a magic wand” and right every wrong of the last 14 years, but that this is not possible within the financial constraints an incoming Labour government would be tied to. She told Sky News: This was a conservative policy that we did not support.
