We MUST fully remove this cruel policy to support struggling families. Email your MP now to demand the two-child cap is scrapped in full! 👉

No child should know what a food bank is, let alone need one. But almost a third of food bank parcels provided by the Trussell community go to families with three or more children. We all know how
This is the real impact of the two-child benefit cap.... ❗ It's making maintaining a family nearly impossible. We MUST fully remove this cruel policy to support struggling families. Email your MP now 👉 https://t.co/lFxIMAi611 📸 credit @PoliticsJOE_UK, @stvnews & @itvnews
