WE WON 💥 The two-child benefit limit is GONE! This will pull 470,000 children out of severe hardship by 2027. This is a massive victory for families, campaigners, and every one of you that played your part urging the Chancellor to act.

The cruel two child limit has driven countless families into hardship, forced to turn to food banks to survive. With it fully and swiftly ended, we can help ensure all children have a fair start in life, ease pressure on public services and boost our economy.
