Happy Thursday you lovely lot. I’ve just been having a chat with my wife about our finances. And she has told me how expensive it is to have our children in nursery, I honestly didn’t realise. It feels like in this country, you’re punished for trying to do better in life. For working hard. For wanting the best for your kids. That’s not how it should be. And listen, I say this with nothing but respect. I’ve got all the time in the world for people on benefits or going through tough times. Everyone deserves support. But working families deserve it too. People trying their best shouldn’t be made to feel like they’re drowning just because they want to give their kids a good start. I have got so many mates in their late 20s and 30s who are desperate to have kids and start a family but they simply can’t afford it. That’s heartbreaking. We should be encouraging people to start families, not making it feel like an impossible dream. Children are the future of this country, and we should be investing in them, in their care, their education, their wellbeing. They are the future after all! I care about people from all backgrounds. I don’t care where you’re from, what you earn, or what your story is. But one thing is for certain, everyone should have the chance to raise a family without being crushed by the cost of it. There’s so much money wasted in this country on stuff that doesn’t matter. Let’s put it where it really counts. Let’s back families. Let’s back children. Let’s build a future where having a family isn’t a luxury, it’s something we all feel proud and supported to do. Because the gift of having a family is priceless. Bosh❤️
