The UK government is considering removing the two-child benefit cap as part of its review into child poverty, with growing support from Labour MPs and other parties. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson indicated that scrapping the cap is on the table, though it is an expensive measure. The cap, introduced in 2017, limits parents from claiming benefits for a third child, affecting 1.6 million children. Critics, including charities and MPs, argue that the cap exacerbates child poverty and is discriminatory. Chancellor Rachel Reeves emphasized the need to identify funding sources before making any promises.
