Many migrants are also denied access to basic benefits such as disability payments, and universal credit. This forces migrants to accept lower wages in order to survive, lowering wages. This makes poor people poorer and corporate bosses richer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Scrap the benefits cap.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The benefits cap is a limit to the amount of benefits someone can receive. This has forced many innocent people into poverty. The benefits of a single person living outside London are restricted to under \u00a315,000 per year; and \u00a311,000 for members of a couple.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Scrap the two Child benefit limit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The cap on child benefits means that families receive no additional universal credit benefits for their third child, onwards.

It also allows the government to directly deduct up to 40% of someone&#8217;s pay or bank account savings&nbsp; to recover benefits which have been overpaid due to administrative accidents. These fines can be issued without any kind of trial. We want this bill Scrapped!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Benefits not Bombs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The UK cannot afford a rise in military spending, without taxing the rich.
