Abolishing the two-child limit in full is vital. It would be a bold step forward in tackling child poverty. But retaining the household benefit cap will stop some families from seeing the benefits of this. This cap should also be scrapped. https://t.co/PdJKrqisl2

We’ve joined 100+ others in calling for the government to fully scrap the two-child limit. Every child deserves the best start in life. By fully scrapping the two-child limit the government can deliver a decisive shift in children’s opportunities, and in the UK's potential.

Mary Marvel was delighted to attend the launch of this great piece of research from @publiclawprojct + @CE_LawCentre . Sanctions are disproprtionate and madly unfair. They cause destituiton, homelessness and deteriorations in health. The regime must be ended rather than extended.
OUT TODAY: our new report with @CELC_advice finds that the current Universal Credit sanctions system fails on its own term and is disproportionately severe. Read here ⤵️ https://t.co/sb9ELHVpvd

Important report by our incredible associate @jo_under_wood @KingsCollegeLon about the impact of shifting away from open door, face-to-face services on people experiencing homelessness and the subsequent pressure this is placing on hospitals. https://t.co/LYxQrwWPwk

'Broken' local authority support practices for people experiencing homelessness must change in order to tackle the homelessness crisis in London and the knock-on impact on its hospitals.
