I cannot believe after all the campaigning the government does what the government wants and just surprise announces that the 30 hour requirement will now go ahead.
If they were this quick and efficient in supporting people who are suffering in benefits, chances are, this would not have to become a law.
Always putting plasters over sores, not treating the cause or supporting parents who want to work the 30 hours with better access to childcare! When is the government going to understand that it is systematic change we need, not chaotic measures to ‘undo’ the damage that has been brought upon civilians in hard times! Having small children is slowly beginning to look like a crime in this society and many parents are already feeling penalised for it.
