Diary of a Wannabe Self Builder

Outpriced in an inflated market the 'Right to Build' gave us the impetus to explore self build- here unfolds the highs and lows of trying to build in London!

Here’s to the mothers in our life; those who raised us, those not in our lives anymore, those who are busy mothering in a society that doesn’t properly support or value mothers, those who are mothers of the future and those who carry children in their hearts & not in their arms.

[Mothers At Home Matter @mumsdadsmatter]

🥂Happy Mother’s Day you lovely lot! Here’s to all the Mothers out there, you are doing an incredible job!

1. Switch the 9 month to 2 years funding to a household tax allowance, so families can choose formal, informal or parental care and the family will be better off.

2. Don't link the free hours to work. Let mothers choose to take them if they want to.

Thank you @GBNEWS for the opportunity to talk about this important campaign #ShapingUs @KensingtonRoyal @Earlychildhood

[Andrea Leadsom @andrealeadsom]

Thank you to @ArleneFosterUK @GBNEWS for the fantastic chat on Friday about the rollout of the Best #StartforLife. Family Hubs and the universal services that will be available to parents and babies will transform the help available across England.

What's weird about this campaign in the Times is that they could call to scrap the charge altogether, but they don't. They probably supported its introduction!

“Good quality affordable childcare” doesn’t sound contentious, but how that policy is designed and delivered could be.

Here’s my piece for @prospect_uk on the childcare crisis - putting the babies and toddlers centre stage!

@thesundaytimes printed an article on 5/6/22 stating that some women were struggling to afford to go back to work after having kids. It used the term “economically inactive”.

Here’s the response from our chair, Anne Fennell, on behalf of @mumsdadsmatter
