"Child Benefit Cap Scrapped, But at What Cost?"
The two-child benefit cap's fate is yet to be told, A costly change, but poverty's price to unfold.
In Britain's halls, a debate did rage,
About the two-child cap, a policy to engage,
Bridget Phillipson spoke, with words so clear,
Scrapping it might be, but at what cost, my dear.

The government's looking, with a careful eye,
At the policy's impact, and the cost to apply,
She said it's not easy, to make such a change,
But the price tag's big, and the cost to arrange.

People were pushed, into poverty's dark night,
By the policy's strict rules, without a fight,
The minister warned, of the cost to bear,
But the cost of inaction, is also hard to share.

Nigel Farage spoke, with a promise so bold,
To lift the cap, if his party's in control,
Mel Stride defended, the policy with a grin,
But the public's fed up, with the government's spin.

Around 1.6 million, live in a household so tight,
Affected by the cap, with no end in sight,
The Resolution Foundation, says axing the cap would be grand,
Lifting 470,000 children, out of poverty's hand.
