Will Keir Starmer Scrap the Two-Child Benefit Cap? | BBC Newscast

Description :

Today we look at whether the government is about to row back on another policy – the two‑child benefit cap. It prevents parents from claiming universal credit or child tax credit for a third child, with a few exemptions. Speaking to Laura Kuenssberg this morning, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner refused to confirm whether it was going to be scrapped. Rayner also responded to a story in The Telegraph this week, after the paper got hold of a document that suggests she is at odds with the chancellor over economic policy. Laura, Paddy and Henry discuss how safe Kemi Badenoch is as leader of the opposition.
