UK PM Rishi Sunak confirms Conservative Party retains two-child benefit cap, despite child poverty rise.
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has confirmed that the Conservative Party will retain the two-child benefit cap, which restricts Universal Credit support to two children in a family, despite record levels of child poverty. Sunak defended the policy, stating that it encourages families on benefits to make similar financial decisions to those who solely support themselves through work. Critics argue that the policy contributes to trapping people in poverty and attacking disabled individuals.
