Labour row brews over two-child benefit cap

17 min listen

Keir Starmer has said that Labour will not be reversing the two-child benefits cap, after Angela Rayner said it was ‘obscene and inhumane’. But will he continue to back the policy, which allegedly saves the Treasury £1.3 billion, or change his mind in the face of pressure from his shadow front bench? 

James Heale speaks to Fraser Nelson and Katy Balls.
