Would Kemi Badenoch reinstate the two-child benefit cap to fund defence spending?

Kemi Badenoch, Conservative Party leader, pledges to reinstate the two-child benefit cap, previously scrapped by Labour, and redirect the savings to defence. The policy aims to rebuild the Army to 80,000 troops and reserves to 40,000 amid global tensions including Middle East conflicts. UK welfare spending currently exceeds defence by five times, prompting calls to prioritise national security.
