💨 Abstract

Labour Party figures are divided over the two-child benefit cap, with David Blunkett opposing its removal and Gordon Brown advocating for it. The cap, introduced in 2017, limits child tax credits and universal credit for families with more than two children. Recent statistics show an increase in child poverty, with 4.5 million children affected last year. Labour MPs and charities are pushing to scrap the cap, which would cost around £3.5 billion.
