‘I only eat once a day’: life under the UK two-child benefits cap - Guardian headline.
When will the Guardian come to terms with the fact that the UK is not just England, and sometime just SE England? Scotland has not taken this route - although if Labour ever got power at Holyrood I expect they would follow the instructions of the ‘main office’.
