RT by @CliffEdgeNI: Thea, a mum impacted by the two-child limit, speaks powerfully about the impact this policy has on her and other families impacted:

Despite ambitious targets, social housing completions have fallen far short of what’s needed.

Removing the 2 child limit will lift 450,000 children out of poverty, and give them and their families a brighter future.
It’s a policy that has caused so much poverty and hardship - the Government has listened and taken action.
