I'm on shared parental leave for three months after this weekend 🎉 (Once I've covered Your Party conference)
Very excited & lucky to have the opportunity.
Shared parental leave is a right in the UK for employees but not many people use it, in large part because it's unpaid. If you have Qs, do ask.

The opposition to this measure has been one of the most chilling things I've ever seen in uk politics. Very upsetting that this is where we are as a nation.
70% of the additional spending from removing the two-child limit will go to families who are in work. This is targeting support for low-income working households who are being priced out of a decent standard of living despite doing everything asked of them.

The idea that a politician can silence a broadcaster for presenting critical views is absolutely unthinkable in a democracy. Regardless of whether the Panorama was good or bad journalism, what are we thinking to even entertain the idea of Britsh people paying money to Trump?
