The two child benefit limit, introduced under the Conservatives in 2017 , has become a totemic issue for some in Labour .

It means families on universal credit can only claim additional payments for their first two children.

Issue led to the suspension of seven Labour MPs in July after they defied their Government and voted to scrap it.

MPs are keen to avoid being stung again as they believed happened over the Government’s decision to mean-test the winter fuel payment and introduce inheritance tax on farmers’ land.

One MP said the new intake was trying to find a way to remain loyal to the party leadership and the PM while ensuring a “Labour policy” makes it through among wider welfare cuts.
