11:05Now PlayingShelagh Fogarty and Aggie Chambre break down the announcements from Robert Jenrick's first speech as Reform's 'shadow chancellor', which included U-turns on things like the two child benefit cap, as well as repeated insistence that Reform 'will be conservative'.
Speaking in a press conference on Wednesday, Reform UK's newly-announced economy spokesperson, Robert Jenrick, told reporters: "We will bring the two child benefit cap - so we can live within our means."
It comes just a week after new Reform UK recruits Suella Braverman and Robert Jenrick 'accidentally' voted against the party line on the Government’s plans to scrap the two-child benefit cap.
Labour commited to scrapping the benefit cap from April - a move that is estimated to cost in the region of £3 billlion a year by 2029-30.
The policy, introduced under the Conservatives in 2017, means parents can only claim Universal Credit for their first two children.
