Reform is slow and unsexy, but it is necessary.
One of the most irresponsible acts of the last Gov was normalising big bang policy fixes (expanding 'free' childcare with no plan) & gimmicks (Rwanda)
Labour must make more of its rejection of that approach to governing if its to manage expectations.

Labour has got off to a shaky start in government. It’s time it told the truth about the state we’re in

Today is Equal Pay Day 2024—the point when women, on average, stop earning compared to men and work the rest of the year unpaid.
This year, it’s two days earlier than 2023, signalling a widening pay gap.
Let’s act to close it. 💼

Women in the UK do 50% more unpaid care work than men.
This imbalance impacts women’s ability to participate in paid work, with many working part-time or dropping out of the workforce altogether.
