The 'Complex Reasons Why People Might Have Larger Families'....

... aren't always actually very complex, but may be rather sinister. And something the progressives don’t want to acknowledge.

Clearly, more needs to be done to reduce inequality and deprivation in Britain. Even once the effects of this change have been felt, an estimated 4 million children will remain in poverty.

That’s the Guardian, welcoming the end to the two child benefit cap, the only sensible policy the Tories managed to get through.

But this week’s win should not be taken for granted. Benefits Street-type hostility is still all too widespread in Britain. When Labour was voted in, six in 10 Britons favoured keeping the cap in place – which may have added to the hesitancy around reversing it. That has reduced slightly, but research for More in Common last year found that 49% believed that removing the limit would be a “very” or “somewhat” bad idea, compared with 36% in favour.

That 49% have realised who we are paying to breed.

When ending it was framed as giving every child a good start, support surged.

Proof that you can fool all of the people all of the time. 

Sometimes, huge wins can be short‑lived. Labour must talk proudly about this moment, then build on it.

Yes, please do keep on talking about the disastrous decisions you have been making since you came into office, what’s the worst that can happen?
