During this week’s full council meeting, councillor Ruairi Kelly, will present a motion asking each party’s UK manifesto to also revoke the bedroom tax and the five-week wait for Universal Credit.
Glasgow’s political parties are being urged to “repeal” the two-child limit on benefits in their forthcoming UK election manifesto by an SNP councillor.
Councillor Kelly’s motion reads: “The council further recognises that Glasgow is now in the worrying business of helping put food onto tables and heat homes, which is seeing financial and physical capacity diverted from the long-term work of improving life chances and outcomes towards the day-to-day support of the increasing numbers of citizens in financial crisis.
It states that the two child benefit limit is also responsible for plunging a million children into deeper poverty and should be scrapped as a result.
