Could Labour scrap the two-child benefit cap?

There is an ongoing row in the Labour Party about welfare spending and how to cut it while maintaining protections for the most vulnerable.

Those on the left are suspicious of anything that may look or smell like balancing the books on the backs of the poorest in society.

Those on the other side point to an unsustainable welfare bill that has been allowed to balloon under the Conservatives and looks set to continue under Labour.

Rachel Reeves will have to find between £3bn and £4bn to scrap the two-child benefit cap, or face the wrath of Labour MPs.

But is there a compromise course of action?
