Rachel Maclean on childcare: another Dark Ages perspective from the Conservatives

11 Nov 2024

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to Kemi Badenoch's leadership campaign chair Rachel Maclean's comments on Politics Live that it was the wrong decision for the Conservatives to expand free childcare, Munira Wilson MP, Liberal Democrat Education spokesperson, said: 

"Another Dark Ages perspective on childcare from a Conservative Party that is hopelessly out-of-touch with working families. 

"Many parents are working flat-out to make ends meet - more now than ever thanks to the cost-of-living crisis that Rachel Maclean’s Conservative colleagues helped cause. Families need more access to flexible, affordable childcare - not less.

"Kemi Badenoch must clarify immediately if she agrees with these comments. I look forward to her response."
