Two ex-party leaders make major demand for universal free childcare
Green Party MP Siân Berry and Mandu Reid, former leader of the Women’s Equality Party, have joined forces to call for universal free childcare to help struggling parents
www.mirror.co.uk
🚨Let's treat childcare like infrastructure.
In a new report written with the brilliant Mandu Reid, I am calling for Universal Free Childcare to be moved forward as serious policy.
This is a big vision and I hope others will come to share it.

If a chemical is too harmful to use here, it shouldn’t be used anywhere.
I’ll be asking the government what steps it is taking internationally to prevent this.

Zohran Mamdani focused on childcare costs to win the race for New York Mayor, and the UK needs to have the same conversation about how no-cost childcare could help more than just parents.

Can see why Labour waited for Lords stages before adding THIS to the Crime and Policing Bill.
Extending protest suppression to include vague ‘cumulative’ impacts (that could include OTHER protests!) will clearly be misused by police.
Lords must oppose this attack on our rights.

🚨 BREAKING: The government has tabled their plan to restrict repeat protests.
Demonstrations could now banned based on the 'cumulative disruption' that previous protests have caused in the area - regardless of if they have been organised by the same people or not.
This is worse than we feared.

The pattern is familiar: get a scheme approved, then apply to remove the social homes.
We need stricter rules to stop this and ensure every development delivers the affordable homes communities need.

Instead it should be listening to the people who want their bills cut, their water in public hands, and their homes made safe and warm.
