@simon_harristd: Making childcare affordable and accessible must be a priority for this forthcoming Budget. It’s an economic issue. It’s an equality issue. And getting it right is about giving hard working people a bit of breathing space financially too. This, coupled with tax changes to help hard working people can translate a successful national economy into economic resilience in people’s homes.

Most women would love to stay at home with their kids but because of the cost of everything it's impossible for most. Make a stay at home mum a recognised job and pay them a salary so that they can have the choice
