Reform’s Shadow Chancellor Robert Jenrick has announced this morning that he will reintroduce the two-child benefit cap in full. Just two weeks ago Farage said that Reform would abolish the cap for working British parents. Jenrick’s first show of muscle in the Reform policy matrix – though he did accidentally vote to remove it in Parliament…
Jenrick said:
“Today, Reform is changing our policy on the two-child cap for Universal Credit. We want to help working families have more children. But right now, we just cannot afford to do so with welfare.

He added that all mental health benefits will require clinical diagnosis, and that only British nationals can claim benefits in the first place. He also promised to “end the abuse of the Motability scheme, where expensive cars are handed out for conditions like tennis elbow, and paid for by working people who can’t afford them themselves.” Guido victory…
