How to promote growth…. Spend more on welfare , brilliant… Reeves’s welfare giveaway to top £15bn Tories accuse Chancellor of forcing ‘hard-working families’ to ‘pick up the bill’ Rachel Reeves will unveil £15bn of extra benefits spending in this week’s Budget, funded by a tax raid on the middle classes. The Chancellor will end the two-child benefit cap in its entirety and increase benefit payments by nearly 4 per cent, while financing about-turns on winter fuel cuts and welfare reform. She will also drag an estimated nine million people into paying higher rates of income tax by freezing thresholds in a move critics argue breaks Labour’s election manifesto pledges. The annual cost of the four policies comes to £15bn, which, added to changes in Ms Reeves’s 2024 Budget, amounts to an extra £18bn to the benefits bill since Labour took power last year, according to Telegraph analysis.
