Sarwar defends Starmer’s unwillingness to scrap two-child benefit cap. The Glasgow MSP insisted he was still against the rape clause but warned that immediately scrapping the two-child limit could “spook the markets”.

  2. Sorry kids no food tonight, Sarwar is worried the markets might get “spooked”.

  3. Funny that, the usual calls for immediacy fade away once labour get into government, utter charlatans. I remember when labour used to believe being it government was about making choices, that mantra has died as well I see.

  5. Well, I am shocked. Properly shocked. Lols. Of course they aren’t doing anything about it, they don’t care. Google got them to get rid of the proposed digital tax with £10k of free Glastonbury tickets ffs. Red tories gonna Tory. The only upside is we now have a new excuse for not doing something good- “I would have cleaned the kitchen but I didn’t want to spook the markets.” 

  6. Is anyone surprised?

    Nice picture of Starmer giving his party the L.

  7. Is the rape clause not an exemption to the two child limit?

  8. Of course he would he’s a good little pet to Starmer so he does as he’s told.

  9. god he’s such a weak fool. and to think if the GE results are reflected up here he has a chance of being FM. Christ we’re really doomed up here innit.

  11. This article is a year old?

    They have had literally years to think about this. If they wanted to scrap it – they could have worked out a way by now.

    The priority for them is what plays best in the Press – not what is best for poor families.

  12. “Can’t be doing with those chubby wee market spooking bairns now, can we Anas?”

    “Too right Keir man, mind all those economic crashes caused by over-fed weans”

    😳😳😳

  13. If our economic system doesn’t allow us to meet the minimum requirements of keeping a child fed, warm and otherwise healthy maybe we need a new one?

    The fact anyone can suggest it’s acceptable that hundreds of thousands of children should go hungry for fear of “spooking” something that is essentially made up is a bizarre take.

  16. We just had one of the worst IT blackouts in human history yesterday leading to stick markets going offline and share prices crashing.

    But giving some much needed cash to a struggling family in Easterhouse is far worse to the global economy, right, Sarwar?

  18. So, the markets are still governing the country then? Gotcha.
