Scrapping the benefit cap is TWICE as popular as axing the cap on bankers’ bonuses, a poll has found.
Liz Truss has drawn up plans to remove the cap during a cost-of-living crisis in this Friday’s mini-Budget. But so far there is no plan to remove the £20,000 cap on annual benefits per household (£23k in London) - or even raise it in line with inflation.
The value of the cap has been frozen for six years, despite rising prices. Critics say that has caused social cleansing as rising rents price poor families out of inner cities.
