Our statutory maternity pay (SNP) is among the lowest in the OECD. Even with SNP most families need two incomes to survive... how could that be described as excessive?!

[Times Radio @TimesRadio]

“There was a time when there wasn't any maternity pay and people were having more babies.”

@KemiBadenoch suggests statutory maternity pay is "excessive".

With more women in Parliament than ever before there’s real hope that we can change our broken maternity and postnatal care system. Looking forward to working with the new Government w/ colleagues @NCTcharity & sector to support the speedy implementation manifesto commitments.

[Angela McConville @angelamcconvill]

As the country welcomes in its new Government, it is worth reflecting on the future being crafted for the 1,600 babies born on election day.

[Jo Corfield @JoannaFound]

Last day of mat leave & first baby-free day for a year, can you guess where I’ve gone? After the ups and downs of pregnancy and postnatal parenting, I’m excited to be back @NCTcharity and determined to influence & change NHS maternity services for the better of all parents.

[Jo Corfield @JoannaFound]

Twenty one maternity units are ��substandard.’ TWENTY ONE. I feel sick. Every parent deserves to bring their baby into the world safely, yet quality of care in birth is a postcode lottery.

[Angela McConville @angelamcconvill]

Yet another grim report ⁦⁦@guardian⁩ today - Crisis in NHS maternity units revealed as 21 rated ‘substandard’ - staff shortages and failures to listen to women continually cited… when will this start to change? https://t.co/cKqyKfmmg3

Shout out to the midwives at @NorthMidNHS who work tirelessly everyday to support people through the unpredictable journey that is pregnancy #IDM2023 @northmiddmvp

[NCT @NCTcharity]

After years of calling for this, @jeremy_hunt offer of free childcare for parents of 1yos is welcome & could save parents' £££. Parents must be confident of care before they return to work; govt need to deliver high-quality, affordable provision. The devil will be in the detail.

Safety in pregnancy, birth and in the postnatal period is a fundamental right. Yet we live in a society where women’s safety can depend on where they live, their ethnicity and if they experience multiple disadvantages in life. Our response @mbrrace report: https://t.co/jTQolbwOOJ
