Die Tories würden die Obergrenze für das Kindergeld von zwei Kindern wieder einführen, um die Verteidigung zu finanzieren, sagt Badenoch

Sorry but i have to laugh at that slogan coming from the people who wrecked it.
No money for poverty stricken children but money for war.
How about triple lock? Why not try there first.
How about reinstating the two child cap to reduce the deficit?
Agreed
I’d take no lessons from the party that also spawned Lettuce Cheese & seems to thrive on causing division through negativity
Shame they’ll never be in government again then isnt it? 😂
The cap should be reintroduced, but only to cut spending. This always happens, Labour increase spending and taxes, Tories take over and reverse nothing. Taxes and spending will always increase if we don’t get out of the two party system.
Badenoch is a complete horror. So is her party. The UK needs defended from her and them.
So the Tories want kids to starve so we can get involved in illegal wars with Israel and the USA. I’m not sure a party has ever deserved to die more.
They won’t get anywhere near power for decades and certainly not with lunacy like this. It’s gone. Osborne lied to punish us and we are all paying the consequences now. There’s nobody who would support a return to stupidity
They really hate you lmao. When will this stupid ass country hate them right back
It’s a remarkably popular policy to reinstate it.
First of all, it’s relative poverty they’re idiotically measuring. Which could be solved by just getting rid of anyone earning more than minimum wage.
Secondly. Pay for your own fucking kid!
How about getting much stricter with many of the BUSINESSES within the sector? I am sure all patriots will be concerned about people using a magic money tree grown by taxpayers only to make off with a lot of it and make the country WEAKER with non-solutions. There sure does seem to be some of groups of people who are lauded as being part of the backbone of the country. Well, maybe they are just making the backbone weaker and should be replaced. How about that?
If you can find defence by simply reinstating a 2 child cap then you aren’t spending much extra on defence.
Not voting for them then. Cut pensions not people building families.
If we’re cutting welfare let’s start with the pensioners before we plunge children back into poverty
The great news about this is that the Conservatives were so incompetent for so long and delivered only Broken Britain that they will not see power again for a long time and therefore what they say is meaningless.
I’m not sure the Tories would know how to campaign for votes if they couldn’t go after benefits claimants
Cutting welfare saves pennies (relatively speaking) and simply will not, by itself, fund defence spending. At some point, however much the Tories try to spin it, rich people might have to pay more tax.
Except we now know they don’t need to screw the poor even more at all.
It was always bullshit and bravado.
They’re really leaning into the pensioner vote huh?
I was always more right leaning when it came to politics and just rarely voted because I just couldn’t bring myself to vote for the more recent Tory governments.
After all the recent bullshit, I’m 100% team labour.. legitimately never thought it would happen but here I am.
Maybe in 4 years time I’ll forgo my daily shower and start voting green?
Lol have never been so irrelevant. It’s going to be a hung parliament, Labour will lose a lot of seats, Reform will gain and Greens will gain.
Because, as we should all be aware by now, the Tories are bastards. Tax the rich.
Madness and stupidity. Kids that grow up in poverty develop into less capable adults because they get less out their education. So refusing to invest in keeping children out of poverty will result in a long term dumbing down of the workforce.
If the UK economy gets by on anything, it gets by on its highly educated workforce which does specialised things.
Stop foreign aid for israel…that will save a bit too…
Why not just, I don’t know…tax the rich instead? The country doesn’t get better on the backs if the middle class.
Make working class children so destitute they have no choice but to join the Army and plug the recruitment gap? I don’t know whether to be mad or impressed.
Tories introduced the cap in 2016 and didn’t fund defence.
Don’t fall for their nonsense.
Weird they had 14 years to do that before and guess what, all they did was cut the military budget to shreds.. and cut child benefits…
How about a 1% increase in tax from the wealthy and corporations?
But no, that will never happen because the Tories steal to pander to the wealthy class of parasites in this country.
That saving would be covered 4/5 times over just by making the triple lock the average rather than the highest but it wont happen because you’d loose every single OAP voter you have if you even suggested it but realistically we have to lower that state pension bill somehow as its just not sustainable in the long run. I’ve already accepted that by the time I retire the retirement age for state pension will be atleast 70. Thankfully my dad instilled the need for a private pension from a young age
