I of course appreciate the current situation facing the world, in which case you would expect things to be postponed and rescheduled for consideration. This was not the case. The war was used as an excuse to shelve a very important issue for the British workforce.

Am I surprised you dismiss this like it was something trivial because it is a female focused issue ( although it affects families not just women)? ... No.

well childcare issues also apply to dads, suppose you hadn’t considered that,, so don’t shrug this off as some sort of misogynistic act from Parliament, even with all the females, personal and professional, by Boris’ side (Carrie, Priti, , Nadine, Liz), nor suggest, unprovoked, that I’m misogynistic either. Because out of nowhere you’ve gotten personal, when this was a political discussion

Ukraine is more important right now whether you like it or not. We have female citizens, our own fighting out there, we’re trying to get them back. We have female Ukrainians trying to get in. We had Zelenskyy that very day, front page news, talking to Parliament, and to the nation itself.

It hasn’t been ‘shelved’, nor has the war been used as ‘an excuse’. If you want it debated so much, why not start a petition? I can’t believe you’re criticising the government for putting a war higher on its agenda than domestic policies that don’t affect everyone , like this war will. Put yourself in Boris’ shoes hun.

Are mums going to nuke the U.K. because on International Women’s Day Boris decided not to debate childcare issues? no.
