      Not everyone is comfortable with abortion for instance. Or maybe her partner died, or didn’t stick around when she thought they would. Or maybe she was promised help from family that didn’t materialise. We don’t know what her story is, so I wouldn’t be so quick to judge. Also she should have the same reproductive rights as a wealthy person.

      Are you serious? It's not really logical to say that form-filling is a necessary skill for fatherhood. Necessary skills for parenthood are empathy and common sense, which you don't seem to have.

    Child poverty must be tackled badly. However if you can't afford to have children then don't have children. Access to contraception is free, this is insanity, this notion of the state being responsible entirely for you and your choices needs to stop. You are already supported with payments for 2, maybe don't have a third child?

      Low birth rate in the UK is reason we’ve had mass immigration for the last 60 years, you either encourage people to have children, or you accept mass immigration. It’s one or the other, but neither isn’t a sustainable option.

    Poverty in Conservative Britain. Have you noticed how poor Brits blame Labour for the problems when Labour are not in government forv14 years and it's the Tories fault who are the government? A lot of these poor Brits are Reform and Tory voters who want the agony to continue under right-wing parties, they think the Labour Party is the party of immigrants not the party of working people which it is, Labour could fix the problems and ease the economic burden on people and tackle poverty because they care. These people won't say the word immigration because that's all they care about, not poverty or the econony which really matter.

WHEN are potiential parents going to do what previous generations did, establish a long term relationship and spend some years building themsleves a decent life, getting a home etc and only then having the children you can afford.

    Children are hardwork physically and mentally not to mention financially so please think it through also the kids know think they are entitled to everything because they dont experience hardship much only have them if you can cope. Big decisions you will have a child for 18 years or so most people should really think about this.

    Dude she had 2 children and she knew that was the child benefit cap. Then she decides to pop out a third knowing full well that she wouldn't be able to afford it. People need to stop having kids like they don't cost anything to raise. The cost to raise a child from birth to 18 costs on average £120,000. STOP POPPING OUT KIDS AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION!

    I've always voted Labour all my life, but this election I won't be voting as my local Labour MP has done nothing for our area and is up again for election. Paula Barker is another self serving MP. Labour takes our votes for granted in Liverpool and put any idiot up here. Too many people struggling from all aspects of society and no one in parliament seems to be doing anything.

      More likely, Canadian, which isn't doing very well either. Americans these days have very little motivation to move to the UK as the standard of living in the US is much higher in the UK (even with free healthcare). Now the poor in the US have Obamacare (free healcare for unemployed and low income), Section 8 housing (equivalent to council housing), food stamps, free phone or internet, etc. This isn't America of 20 years ago.
