Today has been a raging bin fire for #Labour, particularly Scottish Labour, after Anas Sarwar's remarks and Keir Starmer's stance.

On Twitter, 'Sir Kid Starver' is trending. People are angry about child poverty.

Several Scottish Labour figures have spoken out making it clear they're standing by their convictions: the two-child benefits cap & #RapeClause is a harmful, disgraceful policy they want scrapped. Hoping their leaders U-turn again.

The deep-seated strength of feeling about just how awful the two-child benefits cap and #RapeClause are, and just how many children and families in Scotland it affects, gave cause for a few #ScotPol folk to share and re-watch powerful speeches on it from #Holyrood.

Kezia Dugdale in blistering form giving an outstanding speech opposing this policy in 2017 👇🔥👏 *This* is exactly where #Labour should stand now on this issue.

@DrHannahGraham nice on Kezia!

Yes, exactly. I wonder whether Richier Starmak has listened to it?
