A record 1.3million children are now hit by the Tories’ two-child benefit cap - and 1,830 mums had to declare they were raped to get out of it.
Annual figures today show 359,000 households - 47% of them single parents - are now affected by the policy to ban benefits for larger families.
Between them, those households have 1.3million children. This is up from 317,500 households and 1.1million households a year ago.
