  1. @SubtleBlade

    The #twoChildBenefitCap was introduced in a budget - in a Finance Bill -

    There is no need to reference its removal in a #kingsSpeech

  2. It seems from the #kingsSpeech that #lasbour has chosen to focus on housebuilding and economic growth, but ducked some of the more dramatic reforms - eg #votesAt16 #lordsReform beyond removing hereditary peers

    The measure most are lobbying for on the Labour Left - removing the #twoChildBenefitCap - I guess might be part of the Finance bill so not mentioned specifically now - but if I were one of them I would not hold my breath....

    Starmer prioritising security & caution over radicalism

  3. This king’s speech will deliver final blows from a #Tory party facing oblivion

    Little that is announced will even touch the edges of what troubles everyone most: cost of living, rising NHS waiting lists, climate crisis, declining public services, deepening hardship, regional inequality

    Watch out for announcements that ignore all that matters, or make things worse
