That is 4 million children
Plans to scrap the two-child limit will lift 450,000 children out of poverty
“I remember how poverty made me feel. Always being acutely aware of your social position forces you to mature a lot earlier… At 11-years of age and knowing about your parents finances and what they can afford– no child should be in a position to know that.”
