  • I'd describe myself as a liberal conservative (with a very very small c).

    I am disgusted with what austerity has done to the country. I would like to vote labour because I see that I am in a relatively decent position in life and I don't mind paying a bit more tax directly.

    What has made me think twice about how I am going to vote was a letter placed on the nursery door the other day when I picked my son up.

    The nursery owner informed everyone that if labour get in and follow through on their various promises , he would have to increase the fees in 2020 by a total of 27pc across the board. So that would cost me an extra 300 quid there and then.

    Unfortunately I can't afford that.

  • You say you don't mind paying a bit more tax but oppose the people you have outsourced looking after your child to, being paid a living wage?

    Have you done the calculations to see that you won't be £300 better off as a house hold under other Labour manifesto pledges?

    It does sound like a small business owner scare mongering as they fear being less profitable ( which for a nursery I have some sympathy for as they seem to struggle financially sadly)

    Edit: just seen you are saying 300/month now, will climb down from high horse to moderate size horse as that is a big jump on household outgoings but without fact checking, still don't know how you could just change who you vote for on hearsay
