Scrapping of two-child benefit cap closer as Bridget Phillipson attacks ‘spiteful’ policy

The article reports on the potential scrapping of the two-child benefit cap in the UK. Bridget Phillipson, Downing Street's preferred candidate for Labour's deputy leadership, has criticized the policy as "spiteful" and one that has "punished and pushed children into hardship." This statement is seen as the clearest sign yet that the government is preparing to abandon the controversial two-child benefit cap. The article suggests that the cap's abolition is now "on the table," indicating that the government is actively considering scrapping the policy.
