  • Two-child benefit cap row – Starmer’s first big test?
    Jul 16 2024
    Keir Starmer is coming under pressure to commit to scrapping the two-child benefit cap, introduced in 2017 by the Conservatives. Plaid Cymru, the Greens, Nigel Farage, the SNP, and now some Labour backbenchers are all calling for its removal. Can Starmer hold the line?

    Elsewhere: in Wales, First Minister Vaughan Gething has resigned after four months in the job, and in the US, Donald Trump has chosen the junior senator from Ohio J.D. Vance as his nominee for Vice-President. What could these developments mean for Labour?

    Lucy Dunn speaks to Katy Balls and Isabel Hardman.

    Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Oscar Edmondson.
