SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn has accused Labour’s leader in Scotland of trying to “con” people into thinking he opposes the two child benefit cap.
Anas Sarwar said on Monday that Scottish Labour continued to oppose the cap, which blocks applicants from claiming Universal Credit or Child Tax Credit for a third child – while an exemption described as the “rape clause” by campaigners exists to allow claims if a third child can be proven to have been conceived through rape.
