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.

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.

Turns out lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services is really popular. This is just the beginning - people are seeing through the attacks and demanding something better. And we're making hope normal again - together.

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.

Why is Keir Starmer utterly incapable of saying no to Donald Trump? Our national security requires us not to be dragged into illegal wars. The Prime Minister is making us less safe. Did we learn nothing from Iraq?

No surprises, surely? Candidate is arrogant charmless TV presenter & hates everything: lose. Campaign is entitled technocracy + smearing left-liberalism: lose. Candidate is local & can make OK speech about how a good job should lead to a good life: win. Normal politics is trying to be born.

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.

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.

Alongside many campaigners, the Green Party have absolutely dragged the Labour Government to finally end the child cap. Labour politicians disgracefully defended it for far too long. This shows why the Green Party membership rising and rising matters.

Labour think by being "tough", they will win over Reform voters. They seem blind to the fact they come across as pathetic bullies, and drive away millions of decent, fair minded voters. The lack of morality from Labour is genuinely upsetting, and one of the reasons why I joined the Greens.
