I'm worried about these families who've been unfairly affected by the Home Office's mistakes

. It's unacceptable that thousands of kids are missing out on child benefit because of errors in their records. I get why we need to crack down on benefits, but not at the expense of people struggling to make ends meet

.
The fact that some families weren't even on a flight and yet still got flagged as having left the country is just ridiculous

. And for those who've had their benefits suspended, it's devastating. Missed rent payments, debt... that's a recipe for disaster

.
I'm glad someone like Andrew Snowden is speaking out and demanding answers from the government

. We need to know how this system was supposed to work in the first place and why it's so unreliable

. And yeah, John Vine's warning about "function creep" makes sense - we can't just keep expanding policies without thinking about the consequences

.
I hope the Home Secretary takes urgent action and gets to the bottom of this

. It's time for the government to be transparent and accountable

. We need better systems in place, not just fixes that might temporarily plug the holes

.
