Why 2029, is that when they said it would take effect? Not in the article - note this.

Autumn Budget link is broken. And we should link to our dashboard (which shows expectedly similar results): https://www.policyengine.org/uk/autumn-budget-2025

17% of kids feels high, any benchmark?

prevents parents from claiming Universal Credit or Child Tax Credit child elements for more than two children born after April 2017.

Do not hard code values or interactives in the app! This must be a repo for full reproducibility. ALWAYS

Neutrality review

Overall assessment: Needs revision (mostly due to iframe content being unreviewed)

Critical issue

The biggest concern is that all substantive analytical text is in iframes (uk-two-child-limit-reintroduction.vercel.app). The budgetary claims, distributional analysis, poverty text, and especially the conclusion can't be reviewed from this PR. Those embedded HTML files need a separate neutrality review — ideally from the replication repo.

Should fix (visible text)

#	Issue	Suggestion
1	Inconsistent terminology — uses both "cap" and "limit" for the same policy	Standardize on "limit" (matches UK policy literature and prior PE posts)
2	"restoring" in title, description, and body has a positive/restorative connotation	Replace with "reintroducing" — more mechanistically neutral
3	"originally introduced in 2017" — "originally" subtly normalizes the 2017 policy as the default state	Change to "introduced in 2017"

Strengths

• Factual, well-attributed opening paragraph
• Transparent replication code link
• No policy prescriptions, no value-laden adjectives
• Neutral section headings and figure captions
• Consistent analytical structure with prior PE posts
