FINALLY, Labour is scrapping the cruel two-child benefit cap, which will now lift 450,000 UK children out of poverty.

Better late than never, but they would have built up so much goodwill, and may not have fatally shot themselves in the foot, if they had announced this in last year's Budget just after coming to power.

@ididntknow You’re using the standard tactic: make a sweeping generalisation about Muslims, call it a ‘fact,’ and then claim anyone who notices is ‘playing the race card.’

It’s transparently racist

@G7J2O No it isn’t

@G7J2O labour need the Muslim vote, Muslims use lobbying, labour do as they are told

@ididntknow You're not here to discuss anything. You're just looking for a target.

@G7J2O you don’t like facts, you just like a narrative, I’ve gone against your narrative, you think that makes me a racist, get out of your bubble

@ididntknow It's also not a fact, it's a meme. The Office For National Statistics does not ask for religion when a birth is registered.

So yes, posting this meme and claiming it's the reason Labour has scrapped the child benefit cap (even though only 6.5% of the UK population identify as Muslim) does indeed make you a racist.

@G7J2O BUT, they clearly have more children, that’s the point I’m making, are you a labour lefty, by any chance,
