childcare the tories probably just screwed you over

A senior Labour MP has slammed the Tories for potentially creating a “lost generation” of children, days before one of the government’s flagship policies is rolled out. And if your child is of pre-school age, you may wish to read what she has to say.

On a similar theme here Admin, so much for the "hard working families" from the Tory Mantra  

"Mr Cameron said he would "always make sure that work pays, while striving to reducing the tax burden on the low-paid, ensure the minimum wage reflects improvements in the economy and guarantee young people have the skills to compete in the workplace."

On that note, if parents cannot arrange free childcare then the childcare needs to be factored into any 'better off' calculation. It may be that low skilled jobs just don't pay if people have pre-school age children. What a surprise.
