    Bet Kemi Badenoch also thinks the Winter Fuel Allowance, Pension Credits and state pension are also excessive and Labour haven’t gone far enough.

    She is one of those 'I'm alright Jack' people, doesn't care about other people for a second. The idea that others can't just quit a job to have a baby doesn't concern her. If it did, she wouldn't of said what she said.

    Well in the old days a lot of people lived very close to their parents so childcare was shared and a lot of women didnt work or only worked part time. Many women i worked with over the years wished they could have afforded not to work and only worked after their child/children reached 5 and then worked part time in term time only until tneir child/children reached 16.

    She wants us to be like America where women have to go back to work a couple of weeks after giving birth. Most parents need two incomes coming in to afford to have children at all, lucky her that she had enough money to not have to claim maternity pay.

    It’s very cold today and I refuse to put the heating on , so it’s blankets on the sofa time for us ! The Labour government should give up their heating allowance that would save more! I could forgive them, if they’d said we will find the money this year, however next year it will not be paid ! This would give us time to save for next year !

      Instead of buying blankets i bought insulation now the heating doesn't need to be on, the Tories scrapped all the insulation programs and building standards aren't up to the task.
      Also fitting it keeps you warm

    If you make the decision to have children, it is YOUR responsibility to make the necessary financial arrangements to raise them. Stop expecting everyone else to pay for it. Makes me sick how some entitled mothers today want it all, the career, the childminder, paid time off because they expect special treatment, and if they choose not to work they want benefits to pay for it. What a country.
