>Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has said he wants to make it easier for people to have children, as he confirmed his party would back more generous tax breaks for married people and **scrap the two-child benefit limit.**
>In a speech in central London, Farage said he wanted to lift the cap “not because we support a benefits culture” but because it would make things easier for lower-paid workers.
So which is it nige? Families or cheaper beer? Or is it just cynically saying whatever the other guys aren’t with no substance or credibility?
Not energy
Not bills
Just alcohol because that will solve everything
I have no respect for anyone following these people at this point it’s an illness
So if I have ten pints I save 50p?
The guy is a financial genius!
In the US it’s guns, in Germany it’s the speed limit and in the UK the price of a pint. Always something that needs to be kept/held/allowed no matter what.
Big talk for somebody in the epstine files 18 times.
Is this going to become our equivalent of petrol prices in the US?
Pathetic.
Sure, the ice caps are weeping into the ocean and civilisation has seemingly dissolved into a screaming match, but let’s not lose perspective: that pint of lager is now a whole five pence cheaper. It’s comforting to know that while we toast marshmallows on the embers of society, we’ll be doing it with a slightly more fiscally responsible buzz.
As someone with no kids. I’d really rather we didn’t reinstate the cap.
I didn’t like the two child benefit cap being removed but there’s an alternative of reducing the amount across the board – it doesn’t make sense that a child element add on is more than the adult personal claim value.
Hilarious given that last year he called for the 2 child cap to be scrapped, only to do a 180 once the government announced it would scrap the ban.
Best idea I saw was full benefit for two children, 50% benefit for third child, 25% for fourth child.
When he was in charge of UKIP, a key manifesto pledge of Farage’s was to put the little crown back on pint glasses.
If it needs to be said again, Nigel is a deeply, deeply unserious person in charge of a deeply, deeply unserious party.
He’s rinsing his members/employees, and he’ll rinse the electorate too.
And the idiots with 5 kids reliant on UC Will still vote for him because immigration….
5p off a pint, so that’s a free pint for every 100 and we get widespread poverty in exchange. You have to be certain kind of special to vote Reform.
Twitter as surprising turn against him on this or may be Iranians bots farms haven’t been spun back up yet.
Kinda sums up reform
We are gonna cut something genuinely helpful to society by doing a populist brain rot policy that does the opposite of helping society
Nationalise the breweries! They’re the ones pushing up the prices. We own the breweries, sell beer at cost price, stop paying out dividends to rich folk and stop wasting money on advertising…we’re gonna drink it regardless
Would this not be a popular move? Feasibility aside…
Imagine hearing about a policy that would plunge tons of kids into deep poverty but pints would go down by 30p and you go yep, that’s a good one.
“Football, beer, and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.”
Cut back on the beer or the kids new gear? It’s a big decision in a town called Malice.
I love a drink. I don’t mind paying a bit of extra tax on what is essentially a luxury item.

Seems to be different to what he said a few months ago
I feel like beer price is way too prevalent a topic whenever it comes up. Are we really this small minded of a nation.
It’s worse.’ Proper’ British people get to have cheaper pints AND no child benefit cap. Not proper families have the benefit cap.
What about the price of blow, can you do something about that Nige?
Great idea! More poverty and more access to alcohol! That’s a progressive country! Bloody imbecile of a man.
