Rishi Sunak has been urged to abandon “unspeakably cruel” policies to lift half a million people out of poverty.
Scottish National MP Kristen Oswald has called on the Prime Minister to reverse her decision to back the two-child limit and benefit cap policies set by her predecessors.
Indeed, Rishi Sunak has ordered that the British people can have two children, and he has even said that the Government will ignore the families who give birth to more than two children and will deprive them of the general facilities.
Child poverty in the UK
UK charity institutes have announced that Britain has faced child poverty. Indeed, the number of this poverty is increasing these days.
The number of young people suffering from poverty is increasing to 100000. The poverty rate of British children is 60% now.
There are 14.5 million people who are living in poverty. 8.1 million children live in labour families, and 4 million live in deep poverty. It means 50% of them are living under the bread-poverty line.
Almost 3/4 of poor children were from families where just one adult member worked, while 15% of children living below the breadline were self-employed.
According to CPAG, children’s poverty is increasing more and more, in a way that children’s poverty for a long time hits the public health of the society. The Government must do urgent work to save this rate of poverty.
Therese Coffey, the work and pensions secretary, said: “The number of children and pensioners in households below average income has fallen by 200,000 compared to 2010, but there is more must do to address this imbalance.
This Government is wholly committed to supporting the lowest-paid families and has already taken significant steps, including raising the living wage, ending the benefits freeze, and increasing work incentives.”
Even he said he would try to save society after all the problems that CoronaVirus has created. And there were some promises to prepare special packages to improve the current critical situation of the Government.
There are lots of reasons for child poverty in the UK. Not only the Covid has hit their financial situation, but also they are suffering from a cost of living crisis.
The cost of living crisis has caused children to live below the breadline rate all around the country.
Child poverty is increasing in the UK, and families are getting poorer in Britain. Child hunger has become an annoying matter for children, and different charities in the UK are trying to provide food banks to help poor and hungry children.
Statistics show that there are 14.5 million poor people in the UK, and 4.3 per cent of this involves children.
There are different households whose income is 60% less than the UK’s average income rate. So, due to this low income, families can’t support their children’s food, and they need to give more attention to their children’s health.
They need different food banks to fulfil their children’s needs. Even the energy crisis and the high energy bills have caused British families to suffer from the cold winter weather and darkness in their houses.
Not only can’t they afford their usual expenses but also they can’t pay the high energy bill prices, and this situation is annoying children in low-income families.
Indeed, according to CPAG, a child must have all three meals in a day, and he should have warm clothes and appropriate facilities for going to school and studying.
But the cost of living crisis has caused British families to need help to fulfil this elementary need of their children in different fields.
Evidence shows that child poverty in the North East of Britain is more than the other places in this country.
The number of families suffering from the cost of living crisis in the North East of Britain is more than in the other parts, and there are more requests for free food in this part of Britain.
Kristen Oswald, the SNP MP, asked Rishi Sunak to change his policies about childbirth limitations
Indeed, due to poverty in the UK, the prime minister, Rishi Sunak, has ordered people to obey childbirth limitations.
As a result of Rishi Sunak’s decision about childbirth limitation, Kristen Oswald, the SNP MP, has asked Rishi Sunak to change his policy.
Indeed, according to Rishi Sunak’s childbirth limitation policy, households with more than two children can’t use the general facilities in the UK, such as receiving the additional fund.
However, women should disclose that they have been raped, and the Government must investigate this matter if it wants to legislate some limitations for them.
Indeed, the Scottish Government doesn’t admire this law and hasn’t legislated any cruel rule for families with more than two children.
So because of that, the Scottish MP, Kristen Oswald, has asked Rishi Sunak to change his policy about the number of children in British families because the Scottish Government doesn’t have any rule like it at all.
Statistics show that about 787000 British families have claimed that they have more than two or three children.
So if the UK government legislates a two-child limit, British families will face terrible poverty, and this limitation will cause child poverty increment in the UK.
If Rishi Sunak changes his two-child limit, families won’t face poverty, children will have a better situation, and their families will be sure about their future.
Ms Oswald said: The new prime minister has made much of his willingness to break with his predecessors and disown critical policies that have a disastrous impact, given the shameful record of successive. The Tory prime minister tackling child poverty will prepare to do so again in 2023.
“The two-child limit policy, with its callous rape clause, is the only one of its kind in the world that speaks volumes.
Along with the benefit cap, which the Scottish Government will mitigate within its competence, the two policies are unspeakably cruel and must go.”
Conclusion
So Rishi Sunak’s decision to decrease social facilities for families with more than two children will hit these families terribly.
Even some families may have twins; what should they do? Also, some women have been raped, and some children are without parents in the UK. Why aren’t their rules for some situations like these occasions?
As a result of this strange rule, the SNM MP has asked Rishi Sunak to change his decision and has asked him to allocate more facilities to British families.
The Scottish Government currently mitigates the benefit cap, and devolved social security benefits are not subject to the two-child limit and rape clause.
Indeed, the two-child policy will become the most crucial reason for the poverty increment in the UK. However, if the Government refuses this rule, the people will avoid terrible poverty.
According to Kristen Oswald, her Party’s women and equalities spokeswoman, the two-child policy is cruel, and the Government should consider sexual rape against women and destroy it.
Kristen Oswald said that destroying the cruel two-child policy can remove poverty and create a better financial situation for families.
