❗️109 baby grows - one for every child pushed into severe hardship each day by the two child limit.
We’re standing with food banks and charities to say enough is enough.
The UK government MUST fully remove the two-child limit to support struggling families.

‼️ Nearly 8 in 10 low-income, working-age families in receipt of disability benefits went without essentials in May 2025.
Today, we're in Parliament with @TrussellUK calling on MPs to Guarantee our Essentials.
A future where everyone can afford the essentials is possible. 📢

We're looking forward to meeting @RupaHuq and @jamesmurray_ldn today.
86% of low-income households on Universal Credit are going without essentials. Together, we can end hunger and hardship.
Hope to see @deirdrecostigan!
