No 10 delays child poverty strategy with tens of thousands more facing hardship
Exclusive: Flagship policy put back until at least autumn amid fears cost of removing two-child benefit cap will outweigh political benefit
I'm hopeful thar a delay means a better child poverty strategy in the long run but... every day the two child limit is still in place is another day that families on low incomes with three children are pushed further into poverty. These are people's real lives.

Hereโs some cool stuff you can do with Bluesky
Itโs not just an Alf pics repository.
I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this.
Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the ๐ฆ.
