Liz Kendall said the government had to do ‘the sums’ before it could commit to abolishing the limit
Watch them do the sums and declare that we can't afford it. And thus it will become the first of many Tory fiscal policies that a Labour government decides to cling onto rather than throw it in the rubbish heap where it belongs.
I'll eat my words if I'm wrong.
It's telling how they never have to "do the sums" for bombs or missiles.
First of all: fuck the king.
Second: if it wasn’t this, Starmer would have found something else to suspend the best (least shit) Labour MPs.
The policy is what exactly? Totally confused by the story within a story about Labour rebellions and former Home Secretaries.
There was an SNP amendment to the King's Speech to commit the government to scrapping the two-child benefit cap. Seven Labour MPs rebeled and backed the motion and have now been suspended.
