Research evidence strongly suggests that giving low income families more money improves children’s outcomes. Here’s our systematic review. It’s not exactly a shock result but it seems to need saying. And saying again and again and again and again

Yes they sound the same but mainly because the media persists in misnaming the two child limit.

So frustrating to see The Guardian still completely mixing up the two-child limit and the benefit cap. These are SEPARATE policies! (Both pernicious, both need to go). Can you correct @guardian @HannahAlOthman ?

Such a shockingly unfair policy. One rule for the rich and another for everyone else - including all the dedicated people doing the most essential jobs despite the low pay

Is anyone familiar with buying rail tickets Berlin-Warsaw (or similar)? Deutchesbahn claims all Eurocity reservations for September are sold out, first class and all. It doesn't seem plausible. But can't find a way round it or a way to speak to someone.

A Belgian university is to offer a flat research grant to all its academics from next year, in what its rector said was a response to low success rates for competitive alternatives, writes @benwupton.

After all, our new research shows it isn’t working even in terms of its official goals, while causing terrible poverty, hardship and stress

Maybe they’ll decide to abolish the two-child limit….
Having listened to all the interviews over last 4 days on Keir Starmer’s refusal to commit to abolishing the 2 child cap I’ve this growing suspicion that in the Autumn Statement or Spring budget the overwhelming temptation for the Tories will be to do something on child poverty.

I agree with every word of this thread. Beyond the ever greater harm caused by the two-child limit itself, these 3 points express my concerns exactly.
Beyond the nastiness & terrible impact of the two child limit itself (& therefore the disappointment that it may be around even longer), I think there are three deeper reasons why Labour's position has caused so much concern among those working on poverty & social security. 🧵.

Depressingly timely. Join us at 1pm to hear the results of our three year @NuffieldFound project investigating the impacts of the two-child limit and the benefit cap. Details below.
Hey #largerfamilies project. Your seminar tomorrow couldn't be more timely. Whatever happened to using evidence to make policy? @KateAndersen_ @ruthpatrick0 @kittyjstewart @aaronsreeves.
