“You couldn’t design a policy better targeted to increase child poverty. At least 200,000 additional children will go into poverty as a result of this policy alone.” @josietucker on the #twochildlimit
“Some children are seen as less worthy of support than others. This undermines a fundamental principle of the social security system which would ensure that entitlement is linked to need” @josietucker at the @CommonsWorkPen inquiry into the two-child limit
“None of us can predict when we have a child that we’ll be able to provide for them for 18 years without needing any help” – @josietucker
