We Made Labour Blink, Now Let’s Crush the Two-Child Cap and NRPF for Good
Direct Action Works
How Food & Solidarity forced policy change on the two-child benefit cap
Skip to join sectionDirect Action Works, Here's the Proof
A few weeks ago, we staged combined actions surrounding politicians' offices, in Edinburgh and Newcastle, demanding an end to political decisions that make children grow up poor. Days later, in a massive win for the No More Growing Up Poor Campaign, Kim McGuinness, the North East Mayor folded, calling to scrap the two-child benefit cap.
"If Ministers are serious about tackling poverty they need to lift the two-child benefit cap they inherited from the last government. This would be transformational for thousands of families in our region and beyond. Poverty ruins lives, prevents young people fulfilling their potential and damages our economy." - Kim McGuinness
She should be commended for standing up to her leadership, but make no mistake, this wasn't a coincidence. It was a concession wrung from them by force.
- Labour's leadership is weak. They only move when threatened.
- Our message is simple: We will shut you down until you listen.
But this is just the start. The two-child cap must go, and NRPF must fall with it.
NRPF Hurts Everyone, And Labour's Too Scared to Act
No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) isn't just a migrant issue. It's designed to divide us.
- It forces entire communities into destitution, landlords divide the spoils while schools, and food banks pick up the pieces.
- Labour councils used to oppose it. Now? Silence. Because Starmer's crew would rather attack your community than fight the powerful.
We reject their excuses. There is enough for everyone.
