The number of children affected by the UK Tory Government's two child limit goes up every year.

No one can predict how life will run - especially given the pandemic - and it is completely unfair to penalise the minority of families who have more than two children. #AllKidsCount
Last year, @BPAS1968 found that the Tories Two Child Limit was forcing women into terminating a healthy pregnancy. This should be headline news, it's utterly chilling. #AllKidsCount #2ChildLimit

And of course, that's not an option for many who decide to carry on with a pregnancy, who would not consider abortion for religious or moral reasons.

No woman should be forced into an abortion for reasons of poverty caused by Government policy. #AllKidsCount #2ChildLimit
There are ridiculous bits of the policy too. While multiple births have an exemption, it only applies if you have twins *after* a single birth. If a single birth comes after twins, no support. You still have three kids, but they aren't treated the same. #AllKidsCount #2ChildLimit
The rape clause is the same - you only get and exemption for the third or a subsequent child, as @danbloom1 highlighted in this article. #RapeClause #2ChildLimit #AllKidsCount

For anyone who is still wondering why I'm frustrated at the UK Government on drug consumption rooms - this was a year ago at PMQs. It's in their power to change the legal framework.
This was over a year ago, when I presented a 10 minute rule bill, in an attempt to answer the issue of legal framework. To date, no @ukhomeoffice Minister has agreed to meet with me to discuss it.

This is from back in October 2016, when @GCHSCP approved plans for drug consumption rooms - which the UK Government have consistently refused to grant.
