Irony of this is, both me and the mrs are able to work / balance childcare as things stand. If it happened one of us would have to leave are jobs as would no longer be possible with full time office hours or financially viable.

Cover is a thankless task, underpaid and at the mercy of rapacious agencies.
There should be a centralised system that cuts out these parasites and ensures schools are not overcharged and teachers paid properly.

Left: Zia Yusuf, "Mandelson deserves to be in jail. The buck stops with the executive, Keir Starmer is a disgrace to his office and should resign"
Right: Nathan Gill is in jail for accepting Russian bribes. Using Zia Yusuf's logic, isn't Nigel Farage also a disgrace, and should also resign?
