On October 20, 2025, a powerful letter reached the Prime Minister.
Signed by Baroness Ruth Lister and joined by leading bishops from the Church of England, it called for the immediate and total abolition of the two-child benefit limit — a rule critics say pushes hundreds of thousands of children into poverty.
The Church’s official statement declared: “This is an urgent crisis requiring urgent action.”
Among the signatories:
– Martyn Snow, Bishop of Leicester
– Rachel Treweek, Bishop of Gloucester
– David Walker, Bishop of Manchester
Together, they’re challenging the government on moral grounds — saying no economy can thrive while its children go hungry.

The letter argues that scrapping the two-child limit would be “the most effective and cost-efficient way to reduce child poverty.”
Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s analysis supports this, showing that the long-term social costs far exceed short-term savings.
The bishops warn that allowing poverty to deepen is a “self-defeating policy that betrays our shared humanity.”
The call is clear — act now, not after another review.
Pressure is mounting, and Britain’s faith community is watching.
