• Mind the pension gap

• allow mother’s to sleigh, give fathers paternity pay

• Truss don’t delay, give father’s paternity pay.

• He shall conceive, but have no paid leave

• if I conceive, then work I must leave, the economy will go bust, without my hard earned crust

• Working, to pay childcare, to work. Make it make sense!

• Listen up Liz Truss, UK mums have had enough.
