Latest figures show that 1.6million children are affected by the policy. Families with more than two children are losing up to \u00a33,500 a year, per child, in benefit support. Despite common misconceptions, 59% of families affected by the policy are in work. Current estimates suggest that it could cost the government as much as \u00a33.6 billion per year to scrap the limit.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been talking to two Labour MPs from Durham and Liverpool to hear their misgivings about the cap.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nFollow us:<br \/>\nFacebook &#8211; https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Channel4News\/<br \/>\nTwitter &#8211; https:\/\/twitter.com\/Channel4News<br \/>\nTikTok &#8211; https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@c4news<br \/>\nInstagram &#8211; https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/channel4news\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A week before Summer recess ends &#8211; Sir Keir Starmer will warn that &#8216;things will get worse before they get better&#8217;, in a speech tomorrow about the state of public finances.
