We say this every time, but we mean it—sorry it’s been so long! Childcare is a lot, especially if you’re AuDHD. In our latest episode, we talk late pregnancy, the first few months, and what we’ve been up to. #AuDHD #NeurodivergentParents #NewEpisode open.spotify.com/episode/59a7...

Too often those in government view support for mothers or families as providing free childcare. Why don’t we also recognise and value the work those do in staying at home, often sacrificing careers, to care for children?

My first International Women’s Day as a mum and the first time I can start to answer whether women can have it all. The basic answer: no. I’ve had to return to some form of work earlier than I wanted to because there is very limited support for self-employed mums.

Allowing British bases to be used in an illegal war of aggression is a catastrophic and historic mistake. Britain has been dragged into another war because our Prime Minister would rather appease Donald Trump than stand up for international law.

Labour is backing a tyrant who is triggering a global crisis through illegal acts of aggression at the same time that it makes cruel, vindictive and morally disgusting changes to the framework through which people seek protection in the UK. Never again can there be a progressive case for Labour.

So just as a final word on this by election before polls close: No matter what the result, Gorton and Denton is supposed to be in a category of safe seat that should essentially render it uncompetitive. The fact that it isn't is a damning indictment of Labour's time in office.

Five campaign volunteers stand together on a street holding leaflets. Two people at the front wear green rosettes, one in a bright green coat and another in a grey coat, while three others stand behind them smiling. A brick building and parked cars are visible in the background, and one volunteer holds up campaign materials toward the camera.

So Matt Goodwin wants us to have kids earlier. I’m a ‘later in life’ mum at the age of 35. I waited to be in a financially stable position. Even then, i didn’t anticipate my husband being made redundant whilst I was pregnant and being too unwell to work a lot of last year.

So, this will take 20 years. Liverpool to Hull is 125 miles. For reference, the HST line from Madrid to Seville - crossing mountainous terrain far more rugged than the Pennines, and featuring 31 viaducts and 17 tunnels - is twice as long, at 250 miles. It took two and half years to build.
