New research from @CPAGUK has blown apart the UK Government's arguments for the #BenefitCap. The Scottish Government is mitigating this awful Tory policy, but it shouldn't have to.

It's time to #ScrapTheCap❌

There is no excuse that @10DowningStreet and @Jeremy_Hunt can offer. The #BenefitCap is wrong, unjust, and has to go.

Do the right thing - #ScrapTheCap and #MeetTheNeed.

The truth about the benefit cap:

It doesn’t incentivise work, it leaves children hungry.

It must be removed before it harms more young lives.

The @ScotGov has put compassion into action with extra help to cover the gap in household incomes caused by the unjust Benefits Cap.

When Rishi Sunak entered @10DowningStreet he said he'd put compassion into government.

Now is the time for him to #ScrapTheCap and #MeetTheNeed.

We welcome @ScotGov's mitigation of the benefit cap.
Separating entitlement from need is cruel and actively pulls people into poverty.
Mitigation is only the first step. Our #ScraptheCap campaign calls on the UK Govt to end the unjust benefit cap.
It's the right thing to do.

Even more evidence that it's time for @10DowningStreet to #ScrapTheCap.

This work shows the urgent need to rebuild our social security system based on justice and compassion.

As @jrf_uk say - one of the first steps to do that should be to #ScrapTheCap

It's March 2022. We took our #ScrapTheCap campaign to Westminster, joining more than 100 organisations to tell the then Chancellor @RishiSunak that the unjust benefit cap is a “moral failing” that “knowingly and purposefully” locks families into poverty.

It's the @povertyalliance Review of 2022!

We start in January, when we launched our campaign to #ScrapTheCap.

The unjust benefit cap stops households getting the help they need from our social security system.

RT @news_rapha: @NatashaFoote @LinsNorbert @MartinHaeusling The CAP might have played an important role, but there is so much evidence that this heavy subsidies policy is not fit for purpose, and #newCAP for sure sticked to the past with its 2 pillars. Time to move on, #ScrapTheCAP, have an truly sustainable land-use policy! #EUFarm2Fork
