🚨MP DEMANDED CHILDCARE SUPPORT FOR SENEDD MEMBERS🚨

MP Catherine Fookes has risked the wrath of her constituents, by arguing politicians should claim expenses for childcare costs. Fookes told a Senedd committee childcare should be available for councillors and in the Assembly.

Fookes made the comments in her previous role of Chair of Women's Equality Network Wales. Fookes lamented that it was frowned upon for councillors, who are paid, to claim their entitlements to free childcare. She also demanded childcare is provided in the Assembly.

This is outrageous. Senedd members are paid far more than the average Welsh person. Why should we fork out for their childcare? If Senedd members need help, they should pay for it like everybody else. This should not need saying.
