Gordon Brown Slams Two-Child Rule: 'Unfair and Hurts Working Families'

Former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown has criticized the government's two-child rule, calling it unfair and harmful to children in working families. Brown argues that the policy, which limits child benefits for families with more than two children, exacerbates poverty. "The cost-effective way of getting more children out of poverty is abolishing the two-child rule," Brown stated in a recent interview. He pointed out that many families affected by the rule are working families who simply don't earn enough to support their children. Brown's comments highlight the ongoing debate about social welfare policies and their impact on families in the UK. The former Prime Minister's advocacy for abolishing the two-child rule underscores the need for a more comprehensive approach to tackling child poverty.
