Supported by the remainiacs of course, we now have to give more free money to anyone who asks for it. Wonderful to be in this big happy family!

I think you may have misunderstood this. As I read it the government can legally withhold benefits in certain cases.

TTT,
You have not read your own link. It says the opposite to your headline.

// A challenge to the UK's right to deny some EU migrants child benefit and child tax credits has been rejected by European judges.
The European Court of Justice said it was lawful for the UK to withhold family benefits to EU migrants who were not working if they did not have the right to reside in the UK.
It said it was justified on the basis of "protecting" a state's finances. //

Ah I see, I read this "A challenge to the UK's right to deny some EU migrants child benefit and child tax credits has been rejected by European judges." - and assumed that as usual we where shafted, it seems a rare decision in our favour! - apologies all please ignore.

Of course, if I were a sceptic (moi?) I would say this decision has been taken for purely political reasons, to try to stem the flow into the Brexit camp.

// the ruling focused on a complex point of law //

The judgement is not suspect as it was based on a legal argument. But the timing of conveying this good result might be, if one were cynical.
