Labour needs to “learn to u-turn faster” on two-child benefit cap

27 May 2025

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to Bridget Phillipson telling the Today programme that scrapping the two-child benefit cap is “on the table”, Daisy Cooper MP, Liberal Democrat Treasury Spokesperson and Deputy Leader, said:

“The heartless two-child limit has to go - no ifs, no buts.

“Dangling hope in front of desperate parents is inexcusable. Continuing to punish children just for being born is unforgivable.

"The public is fed up of a government failing to deliver change - Labour needs to learn to u-turn faster.”
