The public purse
Campaigners have lost a High Court challenge to the government’s two-child limit on some benefits.
Lawyers representing three families had argued that the policy was incompatible with human rights law.
But a judge has ruled that limiting tax credits and universal credit to a family’s first two children is lawful.
Kate Smurthwaite draws the inevitable conclusion:
I don’t see why the public purse should be paying for Kate Middleton’s third child unless it was the result of rape. Right?
Truth innit!
