My grandson already goes to Breakfast club 3 times a week. It dovetails in with the childminder his little brother goes to paid for by Labour 3 days a week. With my day of childminding my daughter can now work 4 days instead of 2. She’s better off, job gets more tax. Win/win.

A well-designed digital ID removes barriers that hit the poorest hardest — lack of documents, inability to prove identity, job availability, exclusion from finance, work and state support.

Just another few reasons I support digital ID.

My grandson (2) and my sister’s 2 great grandsons (1&2) will all benefit from the 30 hours free childcare. Allowing my daughter and great niece to work 3 full days. Both are on minimum wage but the boost to their family incomes is significant.

This is the difference with Labour

and they must have welcomed the rise in the national minimum wage too.

Nope..as the Reverend of this Church, well known for being very inclusive found out as some thug painted this👇🏼on the side of the church to “intimidate” she says..

I’m not Christian but I’m incensed by the disrespect

The way councils are funded is changing, more focus on longer term settlements to help councils plan better, prioritising homelessness and more support for those struggling with council tax enforcement notices that are cruel and draconian.

When they say 'They're all the same' we don't agree.
Fortunately none of our local MPs appear on this list.
Judge for yourselves.
