16:59Now PlayingIf Liz Truss has “any positive legacy” it’s childcare and under Rishi Sunak it has barely been "mentioned" - Alona Ferber
Rachel Cunliffe, Alona Ferber and Zoë Grünewald discuss the cost of Britain’s broken childcare system as the pressure increases for action.
The three explore Rishi Sunak’s childcare offer – a “letter-writing campaign” to persuade stay-at-home mums to return to work – after scrapping Liz Truss's childcare reforms.
Liz Truss was briefing that she was very "disappointed" in Rishi Sunak "dropping" her childcare reforms.
They also cover what’s often missing in the debate, including why childcare should be seen as economic infrastructure, the quality of care, and why workers are often underpaid, overworked and undervalued.
