    Looks like Sharon Hodgson Shadow minister is on as well...a must watch!
    There is likely to be a video clip and I will try to post when I get to it for those who miss the programme

    I think I'm being with blind or thick (maybe both!) but what channel/time is it on?

    June O'Sullivan did her best and put a good argument
    Sharon Hodgson defended childcare
    then entered Claire Perry...Tory MP...Truss' double and she talked utter nonsense: childcare costs are crippling ...well when some of us get as little as £3.50 that argument does not stand
    She went on to say that childcare is broken...it will be shattered if let in Truss' hands!!

    10minutes is all we got and not enough to cover a topic that was in the news the whole day...and not a mention of agencies

    For me, unfortunately, utterly disappointing!! The fight goes on!
    Your views??

    Did you miss Duncan Hames saying he thought they were a good idea because the agencies are going to do our invoices and accounts so we can concentrate on looking after the children!! Surely that's an accountant not an agency!

    I have read a few comments on that, one from an accountant (obviously looking to make money out of cms)..unfortunately no one has actually said it to me personally...just as well!
    Who is Duncan Hames?

    If you missed it watch it here

    Yes I spotted that too and yelled Nooooooo! at the telly. Think we need to make sure Duncan is put in the picture!

    I have decided to write to Lib Dem MPs on or before 1 June and Agencies will be one of the main points.

    Yes - have been tweeting him (and others) and got reply:

    Think we need to keep up the pressure to get MPs thinking. They don't know the background or fully understand the issues - it's up to us to enlighten them.

    Let's see if I get a reply

    @duncanhames I was very shocked by your assertion on #newsnight last night that you support agencies! Have you read childmindinghelp.co.uk/Resources/mgc.…?
