RT by @CarolineLucas: It is just unthinkable that a Labour government should allow this - an additional 670,000 kids could fall into poverty under their watch with the benefit cap in place.
As a Green MP, I will be relentless in campaigning for the end to this devastatingly cruel and unfair policy.

Not only is the UK the lowest investor in the G7, but Labour's plans for Govt would involve *more* public investment cuts than the Tories over the last 14 years.

RT by @CarolineLucas: Today, the Green Party urges the Labour Party to show real strength in joining us in pledging to scrap the two-child benefit cap.
This decision could lift 250,000 children out of poverty.
Elected Green MPs will not let this rest.

Over 4 million kids - 30% of all UK children - now in poverty & still Labour won’t lift obscene 2-child benefit cap? Labour talks about 'hard choices' - but if this isn't a Labour priority, what is? Starmer says he won’t make unfunded pledges. So fund it

Well said! 'Spills' are usually justified by water companies as some kind of misfortune due to bad weather to stop sewage coming back up the toilet. Pumping it out during dry spells sounds like deliberate operating policy. First step must be to bring water back into public hands
