    Help me understand the contradiction here of Blairites complaining about the declining birthrate but also supporting policies like this that disincentivise working class couples having more children.

      I suspect it's purely performative because the racist voter base cares about it.

        I'd argue it's somewhat performative because the racist party also only believes that wealthy white people should have children.
