flag Nigel Farage opposes ending the UK’s two-child benefit cap, pushing an amendment to keep it with work and nationality conditions.

flag Nigel Farage opposes the UK government’s plan to end the two-child benefit cap, introducing an amendment to block the Universal Credit bill. flag Though Reform UK previously supported lifting the cap, Farage now argues it should remain with conditions, such as limiting support to working families with British-born parents, to avoid increasing spending without encouraging work. flag He claims savings from retaining the cap could fund a five-point plan for struggling pubs, including lowering VAT and beer duty. flag The government defends the removal as an investment in children’s futures, while a London-based report notes that while up to 85,500 children would benefit, 7,620 would not due to other benefit limits. flag The cap, introduced in 2017, costs about £3 billion annually to remove.
