Caption:
Badenoch Questions Labour's Shift on Two-Child Benefit Cap. Kemi Badenoch criticizes Labour's sudden change on the two-child benefit cap, asking how it became "affordable" after opposition claims. Badenoch mocked Rachel Reeves, calling her economic ideas and claims "fake" and questioning her qualifications for the Treasury. Labour opposed lifting the cap last year, with Starmer and Reeves calling it "unaffordable" and punishing MPs who disagreed. Badenoch challenged the Prime Minister, asking how the policy became affordable when Starmer needed political support. Starmer defended the policy, arguing it helps working families and responds to claims that it lifted children out of poverty. Starmer accused Badenoch of supporting policies that keep children in poverty, calling child poverty reduction a "moral mission." Starmer rejected claims from former shadow chancellor John McDonnell that Labour’s victory is assured, emphasizing child poverty as a priority. Badenoch questioned whether the Prime Minister cares about the job market, while Starmer defended Labour's efforts for a "brighter future."
