Well Said - and as always, beautifully expressed, Alice. I am on a coach, returning from Legoland, on my boy’s Y3 school trip (which has been quite challenging- especially on a Sensory Level !!) and i’ll be voting, when I get home. The amount both My own parents - and my in-laws have helped my husband and I out with Fertility AND childcare costs, over the past seven years is Amazing (my husband runs his own startup and i’ve taken a ‘work break’.) We Know how very lucky we are, but this is Not the way it should be… Having children should not be an economic privilege. I can also remember voting for Labour , 27 years ago.. (Although If I’d known about the Iraq war, I don’t think I would’ve voted for them) The Deep and widespread Damage the Tories have done to this country is devastating for millions, and will take a long time to repair, but we owe it to out children to be part of the solution, and whatever reservations many people have about Labour, this time, they actually have a moral compass, which has been conspicuously absent in recent decades.
I really appreciate the general life and financial transparency/honesty. It’s very refreshing. My personal hope for the new government is to tackle wealth inequality. It undermines the possibility of meritocracy in the UK even more so than income inequality.
Love this Alice and it’s so bloody true. Down here in Aus our current government isn’t quite the royal f**k up like yours in the UK but the cost of living, housing crisis etc is real. I’m SO grateful to be living in a comfy little home I bought before shit hit the fan but why can’t my partner and I, who both earn decent salaries, afford an upgrade with a little more space in the same area? I am trying not to think about what we’ll do space wise if we do have a kid/s! Mindset and manifestation must acknowledging the realities in which we live, otherwise it loses credibility.

Thank you for your glorious honesty as always ♥️♥️♥️
I feel you on Mondays… and the fear of the summer holidays with very, very little childcare. 🙄 xxx
