Burnham calls for two-child benefit cap to be axed in direct challenge to Starmer
Andy Burnham called on Sir Keir Starmer to scrape the benefits limit and became the latest high -profile labor figure to call the Prime Minister to change the policy.
In the open sign, the Mayor of Manchester, the Mayor of Manchester, is thinking of going back to Westminster to challenge the Prime Minister for leadership, he said the benefit limit is “arbitrary ve and could not be justified.
He described politics as “Westminster’s worst ve and said that he never supports it.
“He can’t defend it because he was pleasure,” he said. Guardian. “Why is the third child cut or less, or if you have three children, why do all three?”
The intervention will be seen as a direct challenge on the eve of the workers’ conference and questions about the future of the surrounded prime minister.
The two children are a priority for the restless Backbench MPs who think that labor does not do enough to cope with child poverty in power and to cope with child poverty.
Mr. Burnam, one of the three children and his mother, who received children’s aid, said: im My family has always told me something that certainly guided me in my life – you can never visit the sins of parents in children.
It is just ridiculous to say that “the state makes such trial interventions to the lives of families and to have a lower standard of living ‘, because it is absolutely absolutely disgusting.
“It cannot be verified. Westminster’s worst, that’s the worst.”
The intervention comes before the publication of an action plan prepared by Sir Keir’s senior officials and ministers.
The biggest advice is expected to be the scrap of the benefit limit with two children.
The CAP, imposed by former Unknown Chancellor George Osborne, prevents parents from demanding benefit for the third or next child born after April 2017.
And Mr. Burnham said that the Labor Party MPs called the Prime Minister to challenge for a working leadership. He accused Downing Street of creating a “climate of fear ve and said that Nigel Farage’s reform of England is necessary to see the“ existential ”threat.
The pressure was already based on Sir Keir before Labour’s conference, and senior workers’ deputies called on their plans to scrape the door in time for the budget of November.
Dame Meg Hillier, President of the Parliamentary Treasury Committee, said on Thursday that the Labor Party could not alleviate child poverty and pointing to scrapping the two children’s cover as the most effective precaution.
Speaking to the TODAY program of BBC Radio 4, Senior Workers’ deputy said: “I look in detail and I was convinced that the fastest and easiest way to remove 350,000 children from poverty and 700,000 children from deep poverty would really take the door.”
He added the last Labor Government’s record on child poverty and added: “For me, especially in my election region, it was unimaginable for many colleagues and people I know that we would not invest in our children.”
He said: “Regardless of the moral and ethical reasons about the children who share shoes and clothes to go to school and make alternative visits to playing football, there are only one pair of boots to share, such things… In fact, there are difficult facts and figures about why we need to invest in young people.”
When asked if the measure is believed to be in the budget of the chancellor, Dame Meg said, “I hope”.
Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown supported calls.
However, Mrs. Reeves is already trying to find tens of billions of pounds in tax hike in the budget.
Until the end of the decade, at a cost of approximately £ 3 billion per year, two children’s cover will be scrapped, when they determine their financial plans, they will force the chancellor to more difficult choices.
