Back from mat leave, just got the 1st nursery bill for 2 kids, ONLY 3 days a week... £1057 a month 🤯 Husband I have having to take a day annual leave each week to cover other days, how on earth is this the system in this country?! @PregnantScrewed

A letter of gratitude doesn't pay the bills @BorisJohnson

- Give parents a legal right to furlough
- Increase child benefit to £50 a week

@RishiSunak @MattHancock You can’t fine any of the millions left without £ support as we’re too complicated! No records of us apparently #ExcludedUK #ForgottenLtd #gapsinsupport #maternitypetition #newstarterjustice #freelancer

[Bethany Jade @Bethanyjade_1]

MPs @GRobinsonDUP and @CatMcKinnell have continued to try to hold the Prime Minister to account on his promises. Despite being asking the same question 3 times, and making the same promise 3 time, no action has been taken and he claims no knowledge.

[Catherine McKinnell MP @CMcKinnellMP]

Okaaay.

So the British people are to blame for a national lockdown you say?

So it’s nothing to do with the ‘world beating’ test, track & trace system that never materialised?

Nor the complete failure of Govt to plan for returns to school?

Gotcha. Public’s fault. Aye Right.

That’s my SMP officially finished and I start unpaid leave Tomo 😢 thanks #Covid19UK and @BorisJohnson it’s gonna be a hard 3 months until I can return to work again #maternitypetition

[Bethany Power @BethanyPower__]

Thank you @peterstefanovic for pointing out @BorisJohnson lack of help on new parents are getting on maternity leave; #maternitypetition, alongside many other #earlyyear parents! In denial, lies & broken promises! #maketheuturn #lockdownbabies #ExcludedUK #Gapsinsupport

[Heidi Vella @Heidivel]

Yes and I also think employers need to understand that childcare doesn’t just fall to the woman and their males employees may need to work less in order to share childcare duties with their wives/ partners and this should be accommodated.

[Catherine McKinnell MP @CMcKinnellMP]

Can’t imagine why this group of decision makers aren’t too concerned about informal childcare being excluded from the ‘Rule of 6’...🤔 @MaternityAction @PregnantScrewed

[Petitions Committee @HoCpetitions]

@CatMcKinnell @BorisJohnson @MMHAlliance @first1001days @Blisscharity @CommonsLiaison 📌 Yesterday, Chair @CatMcKinnell became the first @HoCpetitions Chair to question a Prime Minister at the @CommonsLiaison since the Petitions Committee was formed in 2015.

Read the transcript: https://t.co/uQXKZ3aTJq.

[Maternity Action @MaternityAction]

The #LiaisonCommittee has now published the transcript of its session with @BorisJohnson on Wednesday, so you can read the double face-palm moment when the PM doesn't realise @CatMcKinnell is asking him about the @HoCpetitions #MaternityPetition report.

I could cry, I really could. 3.5bn of fraudulent payments could've helped 3m #ExcludedUK, #ForgottenLtd, #forgottenfreelancers, #forgottenpaye and #maternitypetition who have been living off fresh air and debt. This is shameful @RishiSunak @BorisJohnson

[Kirsty Pearce @Kirstybabe100]

@aliciakearns @Telegraph It’s not just about partners going to scans it’s about the whole #maternitypetition and @AlokSharma_RDG @scullyp denied almost all recommendations for pregnant women and new parents! Still #excludeduk See the report: https://t.co/njI5xYov59

[Bethany Power @BethanyPower__]

Can’t believe @BorisJohnson naivety to #maternitypetition like he doesn’t know 🙄🤷🏼‍♀️! Thank you @CatMcKinnell for questioning him again at today’s PMQ & standing behind us always! 3rd time lucky?🤞🏼#ButNotMaternity #lockdownbabies #ExcludedUK #GapsInSupport

[Carol-Excluded & Forgotten @carolgnik]

@RishiSunak @BorisJohnson You chose me + millions of others to lock out of all £0 support for no valid reason! Why? Why? Why? Add that to your famous 3 word slogans! #EducatingRishi #GapsInSupport #ExcludedUK #ForgottenLtd #maternitypetition #newstarterjustice

[ForgottenPAYE @ForgottenPAYE]

🙏🏼Thank you @wesstreeting for summing up how precarious being a freelancer is without even taking Covid into account.

This govt needs to step up & show responsibility - act & help those #excluded

@mlchealth @BBCNewsNI @BBCgmu @BBCRadioFoyle A v strange and challenging maternity leave. 12 weeks without my usual family support & family members missing out on the precious newborn stage 👶😭 Fear for mums struggling across the UK without adequate support & #maternitypetition ignored by government. But...a lovely baby😍
