For the last 3 years in a row, we have recorded the lowest birth rates ever in this country. Affordability is a huge part of that. Green MP Sian Berry calls for universal childcare provision, free at the point of use, to be considered essential national infrastructure.💚💚👏👏

Wikipedia has a mild conservative bias, as it insists on what it calls 'reliable sources' - which mostly means they have been published by capitalist gatekeeping institutions. The only reason anybody imagines that it has a liberal or left-wing bias is because it's largely accurate. They hate that.
