Today, Parliament begins debating the Bill to end the two-child limit – a policy that helped drive child poverty to a record high. We’re proud to stand with 65 other organisations calling on MPs to support it. Read our joint statement here: cpag.org.uk/news/stateme...

We've told the Milburn Review that punitive benefits rules don’t ‘incentivise’ young people – they punish disabled people and lock them out of work. Read our response in full: https://z2k.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Z2K-submission-Milburn-Review-call-for-evidence-Jan-26.pdf

🔴We say NO to cutting disability benefits: the public, disabled people, and many reasonable MPs across the UK made it clear last summer. inews.co.uk/news/benefit...

Carers were landed with debts they never owed because the DWP ran a system of ✨blancmange✨: wobbly rules and no grip on the harm caused. Now it wants banks to hand over data. The DWP needs to build trust, not be handed unchecked power. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Today the government publishes the bill to end the two-child limit. This huge moment in the fight against child poverty should be celebrated. But keeping the punitive household benefit cap will blunt its impact for hundreds of thousands of children. This cap should also go.

In 2025, we provided vital advice and legal representation for people living in poverty and helped to force major government U-turns through our campaigning. Thank you to everyone who has supported our work – and here’s to making even more change together in 2026.

Reducing the number of high-stakes PIP reassessments is the right step. But the government’s pro-assessment rhetoric sends the wrong signal. Assessments should be the exception, not the starting point. www.thetimes.com/article/52f3...

Over 100,000 children in London will spend this Christmas in temporary accommodation, according to new research. Our Senior Policy Advisor spoke to LBC News about the human impact of the growing temporary accommodation crisis.

Six disabled people displayed written pieces about their experiences of receiving disability benefits in Parliament. In a new blog, expert by experience Roxie has written about how it felt to work on this exhibition: https://z2k.org/behind-the-scenes-of-my-piece-whats-wrong-with-her/

Reducing the use of B&Bs as temporary accommodation is vital. But the freeze on housing benefit flies in the face of the government’s efforts to tackle this crisis. We need further action to stop rising rents pushing more people into homelessness. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Our reaction to today's Budget 👇

Scrapping the two-child limit in full would be welcome, and a bold step forward in tackling child poverty. But if this government is serious about national renewal, then ‘welfare reform’ must mean proper reform – not more blunt cuts. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Punitive disability benefit assessments have created a culture of fear that's holding disabled people back. Read our report: https://z2k.org/pip-report/

109 children are being pulled into poverty every day by the two-child limit. The government promised action on child poverty. That must mean fully scrapping the two-child limit for all affected children at next week's Autumn Budget.

Today we joined Crisis and a host of other organisations in Westminster. Frozen housing benefit rates are pushing renters into poverty. Ahead of next week’s Autumn Budget, we’re calling on the Chancellor to restore housing benefit to match the true cost of rent.

As the government prepares to review PIP, we worked with six experts by experience to develop an exhibition exploring what receiving disability benefits mean to them. Explore the exhibition on our website: https://z2k.org/campaigning/experiences-of-disability-benefits/

The PM and Chancellor have hinted that the two-child limit will be scrapped in full at the Autumn Budget. But the impact will be limited if the government fails to scrap the household benefit cap too. Read our Senior Policy Advisor's new blog: z2k.org/a-cap-on-a-c...

The government has announced that most measures in the Renters Rights Act will come into force on 1st May 2026. This is a significant victory for renters and a watershed moment for the private rented sector.

Devastating benefit sanctions have become the DWP's go-to response for first-time infractions, according to new research from @publiclawproject.bsky.social. The government should abandon proposals to expand sanctions to seriously ill and disabled people.

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.

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. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Making the benefits system meaner has backfired. We need to end the culture of fear and overhaul the punitive PIP assessment system. Read our Director of Policy and Engagement's op-ed in the Big Issue: https://www.bigissue.com/opinion/making-benefits-system-meaner/

We welcome the government’s announcement that the Timms Review will not aim to make cuts to PIP. We’re calling for the Review to build on this and overhaul the punitive PIP assessment system. Read our new briefing: https://z2k.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Briefing-Timms-Review-update.pdf
