💨 Abstract

Within the Labour Party, a significant internal conflict has arisen over Angela Rayner's proposal to remove child benefit from families where the highest earner makes between £50,000 and £80,000. This proposal aims to reverse the previous Conservative's tax relief, impacting nearly 500,000 families, including professionals like teachers and doctors. Jeremy Hunt had raised the income thresholds, allowing these families to retain more of their benefits.
