Angela Rayner pushed for families of the middle class to lose children's advantages, and unveiled memo unveiled

Angela Rayner wanted to force medium -sized families to lose child benefit in order to avoid welfare for disabled people and to avoid public expenses, as a leakage memo showed.

The proposal of the deputy prime minister would have forced families in whom the top earn has a content of 50,000 pounds or more to repay childhood that they receive from their tax returns.

The program was originally introduced by George Osborne in 2010 as a savings measure, but the band was increased in a salary of £ 60 or more shortly before the last parliamentary elections.

Sir Jeremy also created a shift, so that the benefits would only be completely lost if a single household earner would have a wage of £ 80,000 or more.

Ms. Rayner wanted to reverse this move to ward off 5 billion GBP cuts for people with disabilities and other public expenditure.

The proposal appeared in the same memo to Chancellor Rachel Reeves, where she recommended eight new wealth taxes and reducing services for migrants.

The leak of the memos to the Daily Telegraph Seems to be part of a briefing campaign against the deputy prime minister of the rivals within the government.

Overall, there is considering the support of Sir Keir Starrer under Labor MPs and activists about a number of measures, including welfare and his speech on immigration, borrowed the language from the former legal speech by the right Tory MP Enoch Powell.

Ms. Rayner was particularly quiet when other cabinet ministers tried to defend the prime minister of criticism about his speech and new guidelines in order to further restrict migration.

In the memo, Ms. Rayner admitted that the change in the rules for children's achievements would be “controversial”.

Sir Jeremy warned against reversing his change over last year.

He said: “This may look like a relatively low budget measure, but was one of the most popular things we did because it contributed to the efforts of families with a bourgeois class that have to struggle with childcare costs.

“If you leave you, this would finally confirm that this is far from being a new Labor government, this is a traditional old Labor government against the old Labor.”

Parents can claim an additional child per year for a first child £ 1,355 per year for an additional child.
