Badenoch says rivals back 'unlimited child support'
Birmingham Mail
|May 31, 2025
KEMI Badenoch has accused the Labour and Reform leaders of asking people to “fund unlimited child support for others” by scrapping the two-child cap.
-
Writing in the Daily Mail, the Tory leader accused Sir Keir Starmer and Nigel Farage of engaging in a “race to the bottom” on welfare.
She said: “Apparently, Starmer and Farage now believe in getting taxpayers - many of whom are struggling to raise their own children or choosing not to have them in the first place - to fund unlimited child support for others.
“That's not fair, it’s not sustainable and it’s not even compassionate.
“Welfare traps people, builds dependency and it drives up costs for everyone.”
