Yayyyy
More money to the permanently unemployed who just pump out kids
Nice to know my unemployed neighbour with 7 children will be getting a nice boost in income courtesy of yours truly.

I don’t think the state should be subsidising poor wages. My parents raised three of us on one full time salary. The problem isn’t the two child benefit cap. The problem is that we as a country have to subsidise full time adults in order to not raise children in poverty.
This is really positive. Giving children a better upbringing is a huge benefit for society and it’s morally the right thing to do.
The cap was there to win votes from those that have no problem with cronyism or the rampant stealing from covid contracts, but want to blame the poor for everything to make themselves feel better.
Way to incentive girls to earn a living pumping out kids again.
Fine but if a trend of parents who have clearly no intent to fund themselves emerges, what then?
I don’t think the timing of this could have come at a worse time for those that don’t receive benefits. We’re staring down the barrel of a global recession, and those on child benefits are getting another £300 a month?
I’m woefully ignorant on child benefits so don’t go for my jugular on this.
I’m just curious at what point the kid to money ratio starts spiralling like £300 a month per child doesn’t seem a ton, but when you’ve got like 10 kids you start buying in bulk everything, hand me downs, the margin starts to appear – I would guess, rather handsome.
Looking forward to the next bonfire we throw public monies into anyway.
“The children have only been back at school two weeks and already I’m in debt for school dinners and for upcoming school trips,” she said. “If my child is the only child that doesn’t go then that will have an effect on him. Every month I do our budget to the last penny.”
Shame she didn’t budget before having her third kid she clearly can’t afford
How about op and all the bleeding hearts have an opt in for this kind of thing? So an ‘advanced’ tax rate for those who want to pay for others kids?
Or more likely they themselves have 5 rug rats
If we can put it directly towards feeding, clothing and helping the children then great. I don’t have any desire to see my dwindling real-term wages go to the parents.
On the one hand, we need more babies. On the other hand, we need a smaller state. Difficult times ahead.
Nice..the government is getting money from the BoE directly rather than using my tax money right?..right?!’
Poland pays over £160 to every single child in the county and is on track to end children poverty. Meanwhile in the UK £300 for the absolute poorest children is controversial and apparently is going to ruin the country and lead to demographic explosion. Unbelievable
Is there no system where parents receive credits to spend exclusively on groceries and childcare-specific expenses to ensure the money is definitely used for the children?
Why couldn’t they only target current families in needs, a blanket lift of the cap seems like encouraging more people into pumping children irresponsibly.
Blah blah end to 2 evenings out for working people.
Does this mean Ahmed his 3 wife’s and 12 kids can make a fortune without working ?
Or rather than take money from others, these “cash-strapped families” could work 6 hours a week more and make the same. This is a joke.
How about an income boost for young workers? I pay over £800 in taxes per month not including student loans and I cant afford a house. On top of that, the streets are full of trash while council taxes are hiked, there are masked gangs of imported diversity everywhere (no doubt the people who will benefit from this cap removal, because working brits cant afford to have children), fuel is shooting up, insurance is sky high, I could go on.
Nice to see non-workers getting a boost to raise children because they’re the only people having them at this point. This country has been in a managed decline and the end goal is to have everyone dependant on the government so it cant be overthrown.
And who would want to bring children into this shithole of a country? Oh thats right, the same people who are turning it into a shithole.
