Budget

[west didsblue]

The woman with 5 kids (and others like
her ), had them when the state was paying for them.

What happens when she is only given the means to look after 2 of them?

Cut down on fags and beer and stick with a 40 inch TV instead of buying a bendy 60 inch 4K one ;-)

That's why it only applies to those born after April 2017.

So let's say a woman with 5 kids after 2017 lives with a partner who is providing for them. He decides to leave
and can't or won't pay maintenance.
What does she do?

Workhouses and debtors prison I presume

Taking out the one off purchases, a baby will cost about £30-40 p/w. Kids will cost a little more. The Government only pays £20 per week in Child Benefit

Kids cost a little more? Once you put them in nursery you are talking £200 a week just for that before anything else.

That depends on the family setup. Obviously people with stay at home parents aren't going to be paying that and I cannot imagine that many people on benefits are sticking them in a nursery.

You have to be on some serious money to have to pay nursery costs in full for 2 children. If they stopped this scheme we'd have a kid free environment in this country and 100's of thousands of nursery workers on Job Seekers.

Surprised no one has mentioned how they are ditching the University maintenence grant and replacing it with a student loan instead. I've not looked into it fully, but that seems like a real fuck you to social mobility.

Sorry I was taking your figures for those in work not on benefits. For those in work, having a child is a big decision as it is likely to cost in the region of £1000 a month in nursery fees or lost wages if you don't go back, clothing, food, toys, days out etc
